We arrived Harare and after 1,5 hour with a charter Corris and Rod Ferreira wished us welcome to their camp which was close to Lake Kariba. Because of a misunderstanding they did not know that I should hunt with a revolver. They had no experience with handgun hunters and no experience with my little cartridge. Therefor there was no positive comments to receive!

spacer New Turkey Tactics   2009-11-17
Turkey at 200 yards...with a handgun!! I admit that my methods of turkey hunting may be a little different when compared against the norm, but I sure do have fun!!! There is nothing like sitting along a hedgerow as a sniper with shooting gear ready to rocknroll and glassing for distant feathered targets.

spacer My first Monster Ram   2009-08-28
Hunting a monster four-horn ram at a hunting ranch is a great thing in itself, but it also allows you to test equipment before going out hunting in the real woods. Given the lack of free-ranging monsters of this kind, if you want a four-horned wallhanger this is about the only way to get it...

spacer Long Range Ram   2009-02-01
As I topped the saddle, maybe a thousand feet or so above timberline, I immediately knew Id screwed up. Maybe there was too little oxygen getting to my brain at 12,000 ft. or something, but whatever the reason, Id silhouetted myself momentarily, and of course, when hunting, momentarily is often long enough.

I crouched down then, put the binoc. to my eyes, and quickly realized my worst fears. About 500 yds. to my right a 3/4 curl bighorn ram was staring a hole right through me.

spacer Texas Elk   2008-12-21
Buffalo Creek is a ten mile by five mile ranch 100 miles northwest of San Antonio in the hill country of Leaky, Texas (the Texans call them hills while I consider them small mountains). The dirt roads cover about 10%% of the operation while the rest has to covered by foot. The elk herd that inhabits the ranch has been there for sixteen years giving rise to good quality bulls of which I only saw two. On the first day we spotted a nice bull at sundown as he drank from a pond near the lodge; he was gone within 10 seconds.
