Sportsmen talk a lot about the conservation benefits of hunting and our monetary contributions have helped preserve a lot of valuable habitat and assisted in the recovery of threatened or endangered species all over the world.

208: What You Know About Hunting Africa May Be Wrong...

Big Game Hunting Podcast - Hunting Africa, North... ·

2022/07/28

There are LOTS of misconceptions about hunting in Africa. For instance, I get lots of comments from people that go something along the lines of: "I’m not a trophy hunter. I only hunt for meat and I don’t see the point of hunting in Africa. That seems like just killing for fun." Unfortunately, that's an all too common viewpoint about hunting Africa with lots of negative consequences. Well, we have Cries of the Savanna author Sue Tidwell on the show with us today to help set the record straight. Show

Kevin Robertson is back on the Big Game Hunting Podcast today to talk about hyena hunting. Hyenas are a very misunderstood creature and let’s be frank here: everything (or at least most) of what you think you know about hyenas is wrong.

Kevin Robertson is back again to talk about hunting Africa with lever action rifles. While lever-action rifles are great for some applications, they're not great for others and, for various reasons, they've never really caught on with the general hunting community in Africa. We talk about why that's the case, the pros and cons of lever action rifles, the situations they're best suited for, and which cartridges meet the minimum requirements for hunting plains and dangerous game in Africa.

We talk at length on this show about things you can do to set yourself up for success on a hunt.

With that in mind, we have Justin Townsend from Harvesting Nature and the Wild Fish and Game Podcast on the show today to talk about wild game meat care and cooking. Among other things, we talk about some things you should NEVER do to meat, how to deal with “gamey” tasting meat, and a

2022/05/26

The 6.5 Grendel and 6.5 Creedmoor are both very popular 6.5mm centerfire rifle cartridges. While their names are very similar, these cartridges were designed to fill very different needs and perform differently afield. With that in mind, today’s episode compares and contrasts the 6.5 Grendel and 6.5 Creedmoor in order to provide some insight into which cartridge is best suited for different situations.

It's a fact: talk about the 6.5 Creedmoor long enough in a public forum and someone will bring up the 260 Remington and/or 6.5x55 Swede and tell everyone why they think those other cartridges are better.

2022/05/05

Most shotgunners will probably agree that, as good as many modern semi-automatic shotguns are, it’s still really tough to compete with the reliability of a solid pump-action shotgun like the Mossberg 500 or the Remington 870. Things changed when I got the chance to hunt with the new Mossberg 940 Pro Field semi-automatic shotgun last year though. This episode is an in-depth Mossberg 940 Pro Field Review where I go over the pros and cons of the shotgun in detail so you can make an informed decision
