2019/06/24

Hunting in Africa was one of my dreams for many years until I made that fantasy come true back in 2006 on a hunt in Namibia with my dad. I’ve been back to Africa a number of times since then with safaris in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Mozambique where I’ve hunted many species of plains and dangerous game. During the course of all those hunts, I’ve learned a great deal about hunting in Africa (often the hard way) and this episode is the first in a series about hunting in Africa where I’m going to

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

2019/06/20

Hunting big game with a muzzleloader can be an extremely fulfilling experience and as a result, muzzleloader hunting is becoming more and more popular among hunters these days. However, hunting with a muzzleloader can also be extremely challenging and frustrating. This is especially true with late season muzzleloader hunting where hunters may have to deal with extremely cold and/or wet conditions. For those who are planning on taking the old front stuffer out into the woods this year, here are a few

2019/06/13

Since I first started hunting with a muzzleloader, I've tried out several a number of different muzzleloader sights and scopes and have gotten excellent results from several of them. Choosing the best sighting system for your muzzleloader really depends on what conditions you hunt in, what you're trying to accomplish, and what the regulations are where you’re hunting. In this episode, I’m going share my picks of the best muzzleloader scopes and sights for hunters and what situations each different

2019/06/10

I think most hunters will agree that choosing the right propellant and primer for your muzzleloader can be an overwhelming experience due to the sheer number of options available. I struggled with the same problem when I first got started hunting with a muzzleloader many years ago. Since then I’ve tried lots of different load combinations and I’ve also gained a lot of insight into the strengths and weaknesses of the various propellants and primers under different conditions.

2019/06/03

The .308 Winchester is an excellent cartridge, but that hasn't stopped wildcatters from attempting to improve upon it over the years in various ways. The .243 Winchester and 7mm-08 Remington are the two most common examples of cartridges developed by necking down the .308 Winchester to shoot smaller diameter bullets. While each of the three cartridges offer certain benefits to hunters, it's still easy to get confused when trying to understand their true strengths and weaknesses. Here's what you need

2019/05/27

The .308 Win has been around for a long time and has great reputation as an effective hunting cartridge, but many are skeptical of the capabilities of the newer 6.5 Creedmoor for hunting. Unfortunately, there is a lot of marketing hype as well as a few genuine misunderstandings regarding the capabilities of the 6.5 Creedmoor that complicate this discussion. Here's what you need to know about these two rifle cartridges when it comes to picking the right one for a hunt. Articles referenced in show:

2019/05/20

Most hunters probably agree the .270 Winchester and .30-06 Springfield are both quite versatile and effective cartridges. While there is an overlap in their capabilities, the two cartridges are best suited to different tasks and represent two different ways of thinking. This is part of the reason why each cartridge has such a dedicated and loyal following and why the 270 vs 30-06 debate continues to rage on after so many years.

2019/05/16

While many hunters know a little bit about shotgun gauges, I think that most people would likely agree the subject can be really confusing. That's perfectly understandable because the way shotgun gauges are classified is counterintuitive at first glance. For that reason, I’m going to discuss the ins and outs of shotgun gauges in detail in this episode. I'll go over the history of shotshells, how they got their naming convention, compare and contrast some of the more popular shotgun gauges (the 12

Both the 7mm Rem Mag and the 300 Win Mag probably are among the first cartridges that spring to mind for hunters thinking about buying a new rifle for a serious hunt they think they’ll need a real heavy hitter on. They're both excellent cartridges and are similar in many ways, but they're also different in a few key areas and each is best suited for particular situations.
