    Anti-hunting Hunters - Article by Fred Eichler

    Divide and conquer has long been the method of choice of the anti-hunting groups. I learned this a long time ago while watching how fox hunting was banned in Great Britain. It was class warfare in action. Only "toffs" (upper class Brits") fox hunted so why should I care if I'm only after...

    Camper shell buildout

    On my old '77 Ford F-100 with a camper top, my wife made a set of cloth pockets that attached to the cab side of the bed. If I remember correctly, it was made out of duck fabric, went across the full width of the bed, and she stiffened it with either a yard stick or piece of lath. It was screwed...

    Mtn Lion Ban Filed in Colorado

    I would make a big deal of this. Wayne Pacelle, of course, but also that it is outsiders trying to tell Coloradans what they should or shouldn't do. Call them out as carpetbaggers or flatlanders or what other name you choose.

    New guy from NC

    Virtue of Defense in Old Fort has a 700-yard range that allows you to shoot from positions other than a bench. We had a 1000-yard range up in Burnsville but I understand they have closed. The Piedmont Rifle and Pistol Club in Rutherfordton has a 600-yard range and I believe the Polk County club...

    Big bore build, grouse to Cape buffalo

    What has caught my eye is that peep sight on the cocking piece. Does it pivot up and down like a tangent sight?

    scope slipping

    I have used Permatex Gasket Seal #2 instead of rosin. I got the idea from outdoor writer John Barsness. You apply a thin coat, let it get tacky, and then place the scope in the rings. Cleanup and/or removal can be done with 90% isopropol rubbing alcohol.

    Cape Buffalo: Euro or Shoulder Mount?

    I think you may be correct. I remember attending a "tips for newbies" seminar at the Dallas Safari Club convention. One of the speakers said the savings from not doing taxidermy allowed him to take an extra hunt per year. He just takes pictures now and frames them like you suggested. From...

    Cape Buffalo: Euro or Shoulder Mount?

    I just got back from South Africa. I did Euro mounts for my springbuck, hartebeest, and bushbuck. However, I went with a shoulder/pedestal mount for my nyala. The nyala was just too beautiful to go with just a skull mount. I guess it would depend on whether you intend to go back to hunt Cape...

    New guy from NC

    Welcome. Great to learn about the range in Ellerbe though I live in the mountains. My daughter is in Kernersville so it wouldn't be that bad of a drive down there.

    Overdue self introduction from a NC FNG.

    I live in western North Carolina and hunting primarily whitetail deer. That said, I just got back from a 8-day hunting trip to South Africa's Eastern Cape. The amount of game you see is beyond belief. I volunteered to be the Director of Media for the new Dallas Safari Club Carolina Foundation...

    Mtn Lion Ban Filed in Colorado

    It would be interesting to know just what percentage of the monies supporting this are actually coming from within Colorado. If I had to guess, not much.
