Ive read it, and overall I think its not a bad book. but needs to be taken with a grain of salt.
Funny how I read it and didnt get caught into any religion......haha.
Having an open mind to different thought processes is the real thing to learn from these books
Real men pack a 95mm........haha
Through my guiding career ive used a 65,85 and then a 95.
Ive used a 95mm now for quite a few years. I guide primarily Tahr and Chamois, which although similar to sheep hunting, are far harder to age/judge(small horn size).
Ive been tempted to go back to a...
My vote is always for Kazakhstan
I hunted there with good success(our group took 3 mid 40"s and 50" billy)
The service I saw in Kazakh was of a very high level, well organized camps, good gear and good guides.
Its not a 'gentleman's' hunt, but not an extreme hunt either. As a guide of 10+...
I think the biggest thing people find hard to understand is our unlimited market hunting and poisonings.
Like an area of public land can be completely destroyed by a government poison drop, or meat hunting. in open country, they can pretty much kill everything
We have market hunting for most game animals here, on private land and public land. Its a free for all, but is based heavily on the market prices which vary alot.
Traditionally the main market has been Europe(German mainly), but now a fair bit is sold to you guys in North America. Very...
I cant imagine many guys doing over 200, especially in the states(where even has that many days of open season?)
I am a guide, so generally I guide 100-120+ days a year(3-4 months). I then do my own personal hunting throughout the rest of year on weekends, short 3-4 day trips. Which add up to...
The traditional mylar/space blankets are pretty average. they warm you up quick but condensate really bad and you soon end up wet.
I have also used the SOL bivvy type bags and they are much better. can be re used, and breathe better.
None are really a 'shelter' but better than nothing.
A half...
Had plenty of clients with Harkila.
Generally I would say its well made clothing, but expensive. Most of the fabrics choices are soft face and many are soft faced waterproofs.
Which are great for stalking, but in a back pack hunting sense they are often quite heavy/bulky, and can be very...
Hey guys
My sons have both been shooting small bows since they could work. They are now 5 and 7 and I am upgrading their bows for birthdays/xmas.
The bows they have supposedly are around 10-15lbs(long bows). but very small kids bows
My boys are quite big for their age, and wondering what kind...
When are we going to get a 'other/international' section for species?
There are a few foreigners here, and no doubt plenty of guys who have done international hunts and its a shame for these to be lost in the 'north American' game sections.
Surely easy to add a 'international' or 'exotics'...
Goat hunts were 7-8K not that long ago..........
But yea most guys seem to be 15-20K now.
I think there will still be good hunts at 15K if you do your homework.
There are definitely similar style hunts for less money(Aoudad, Asian Ibex and Tahr/Chamois here), but I feel a Mt goat hunt is...
Dont want to derail the post, but yes if I was the guide(as I am) I would say eat tag soup haha.
The reason is simple, experience.
I have never seen 'that guy' who can take that shot with a high enough reliability to make it worthwhile. and yes, I have had lots of experienced long range hunters...
As a professional hunting guide, I spent exactly 3 hours and 7 minutes per sq mile of new area I intent to hunt. After a decade of scouting, I have found this is the optimal time
