.30-06/.308 both will work at that distance(have for me) out to the 350yd range. Good luck and Good hunting.

I've got the 835 Mossberg 12ga. It has a ported barrel which reduces recoil. I've also added a slip-on recoil pad which also helps. You could also get a 20ga. so recoil would'nt be as bad as a 12ga. Hope this helps. Good luck and good hunting.

First Off let me say GOD BLess America, that been said , Africa has more differen types of huntable animals than ANY other place on the planet.

Glorified, I'm not sure how to answer your question, simply. Because there are so many. You get to get out in alot better weather. The adrenalin pumping that yung mentioned among other things. Please do yourself a favor and give it a try, go with a buddy who has some experience in this helps to cut down on the learning curve and gives you someone to enjoy the time with. Good luck!! and good hunting. Oh by the way there are 4 types to chase too !!!!

Bo's right(as usual). The .270 is flater but I like the knock-down power of the 06' my self.

The best shot is one your comfortable making.As for placement, the heart/lungs are the two areas that you should focus on because as I was taught "if you can breath you can't run, and if your heart isn't pumping blood you can't run. Good luck to you this comming season and shoot straight yungdeerslayer

I guided in Colo. for several years. You'll be fine with the .30-06, as said you'll need to stick with a "quality" 180gr. You'll need to see what works best in your rifle. Good luck and good hunting. Send "us" pic's. O.K. ?

Sorry, you got riped off.

The .30-06 in a Savage package deal should fit your requirements/budget. Good Luck and Good Hunting !

I've heard "soft-shells" were better eating. Good luck with this.

Both Loman's and Duck Commander both make good stuff. I'd get them after season when they go "on sale" for a cheaper price. Hope this helps.

Africa- Tiger fish, Great White shark Asia - Giant Rainbow trout w/ "TEETH" S.America- Tarpon, sailfish, Marlin Austrailia- Great White shark

Bacon works, the "best" is a can of tuna with some holes poked in the can to release "scent".

As has been said "THANK YOU SIR !" If you contact me at the following e-mail, I'll give you all the help I can. I guided in Colo. for a while. koondog_71@yahoo.com I look forward to hearing from you.

I'd stick with the 7mm. Bears have got teeth and claws.

For the bass- Early,Late,and at night, use top-water baits.Crayfish/Crawdads will work well during the day. As for the "bream"- Nightcrawlers, crickets are your best bet. Good luck and good fishing.

H & R makes a .410 shotgun single shot called a snake charmer. They are cheap too. Hope this helps.

I shot NAP "Thunderheads" for years with no problems(about $20.00box), I've also used Muzzys(liked them), but am switching to Rages this year.

Yes LOTS as well, care to tell us where you might be looking to hunt ? Or do we have to guess ?

Not sure about surf casting. But we use 30,50 lb. mono line on fresh water fish here in Ark.

If the deer are the same size I'd take the "winner" because the "sub-dominate" buck will take over the area vacated by the one taken, and I can hunt him next year. Of course as stated it would have be be a safe/ethical shot to be had.

Pig-n-Jig, Jig with pork rind trailer.

Nc's right. Summer time, early and late in the day are my best times.

Had a great-uncle who tied flys. He made one that looked like a sml. frog with legs that "kicked". It was a "popper" and we used it on a farm pond he owned. When we would have days that they were'nt biting he'd tie one on and first cast everytime it was on ! So I'd say green/black frog types. Good luck and Good fishing.

Shotgun- Mossberg 500, Remington 870. Rifle- H&R in a .223 cal. Hope this helps.

Bread is good, but it disolves pretty fast, so "we" have started putting a cuuple of pieces of styrofoam in the trap to "look" like bread and have had some good success. Hope this helps.

.30-06/.308 will both do what you need them to do. I'd go with something in the bolt-action.(savage makes a good one).

No I never have, sorry.

Live bream/bluegills and a spinning rod are what I've used in the past. I DID catch one on a 6wt. FLY ROD(12lbs) not long ago too. We also use "buck-tail jigs, and "Sassy Shad's" on a "Parachute Rig" when trolling. Good luck and good fishing.

You could contact them and find out. Browning Arms Co, U.S Repeating Arms, one of these should know. Hope this helps.

Stoger(turkish) and Mossberg both make a "affordable" O/U in that range. As for the deer/ turkey thing get one with exchangeable tubes(turkey), and shoot either buck-shot or a slug for smooth bore barrels. Good Luck and Good hunting !

Had a cousin that used em' on White-tails, but I'd say bear's(black). I"d have to go bigger gun on Grizz.

Corn & dough balls, is what we use .

In ballast tanks, no. Bull sharks could survive there though. Farthest recorded one in the U.S was in Ill., so if they wanted and could make it they could live in any body of water in the U.S.

Mr. Bunyan's right on the bass and walleye's. I've never caught a Northern(hopefuly soon) so I would'nt know. Sorry I could'nt help more.

Yes, bigjake's right. Minnows,leaches, or nightcrawlers will work too.

For you(till you get some time in), I'd suggest aluminum. They are cheaper to replace. Good luck and good hunting ! Welcome to the "family".

You can use the .30-06 for all your needs. 110/125gr on foxs,"dogs"etc. 150/165 for the 'lopes. Good luck and good hunting.

Don't have much else to add here but practice as much as you can, short and long range.

I use/love Summit brand. Check them out. Hope this helps.

I'd say no lower than 45lbs. If it will take a deer it ill' work on fish. Mines 50lbs(won't go lower). As for max- How much do you want to pull all night?

The "new" phone in your deer tag system they are going to here in Ark. is at the top of my list right now.

In a booth. (sorry to easy). dropjhook's got a point. What's the "vote" about?

Go to top of the page(here) and choose what type of gear you want to review. Hope this helps.

Bo's right. Shotgun-870 Remington, Mossberg 500 - 20ga. Rifle-(single shot) H&R,T/C encore - .243,7mm/08 Bolt- Browning,Winchester - .243,7mm-08 Hope this helps.

You'd have to ask the editors this one. Contact info is at the top of this page.

Suposed have more "feel" to it.

Labor; home-made pies,cakes,other goodies; Chrismas/thank you cards. Meat from the harvest. How about you Charlie Elk ?

Shakespeir "Ugly Sick/catfish" is also "cheap" and works WONDERS on big cats, and stripers here in Ark.

As an (ex) guide in Colo.(Bow/muzzle-loader/gun) 100gr is a MINIUM for these HUGH animals. Good luck and good hunting.

To charlie elk: Can you "rough" it up with sand-paper to get a "bond"?

Like Mike said depends on what your using it for. Big game- I'd go with the R-25(.308). Pred.- I'd go with R-15(.223). Hope this helps.

Actualy you CAN hunt them from a treestand. But I'd invest in the "suit". They work believe me.

I use/love my "Cuddy-back". Lots of "good stuff" with this one. Little pricy though.

I've caught them from spring to fall with everything from crank baits to night crawlers. Sorry I could'nt help more. Good luck and Good fishing.

He retired(semi) according to the mag.

There is some "new" stuff called "clean shot" too.

I've got an aunt that uses a .257 for mulies every year without any problems.

I like "Off", "Skin so soft", or stuff with "DEET".

I think Remington made one, but I'm not sure. I'd also check Savage too.

They might. I can't rightly remember though, so please don't hold me to this as "fact".

I heard one time, " A day to learn, a lifetime to master".

Need someone to go with(lol). I say Alaska because I have always wanted to hunt there, but bigjake is right Africa does have more "stuff" to choose from.

2010 is a BIG one for them and they know it. Keep up the good work though.

Congrats you two ! I'd stick with the 180gr. Any "quality" brand/round will do just fine. Good luck, Good hunting, and have a long happy life together.

Both guys are right either the "tag"(draw wht/length info) or get it to the shop and they'll be able to tell you.

In Ark. there is no bow lic./age limit. The other guys are right, contact your game and fish guys,look up the regulations in you state on the internet. Hope this helps.

Sportsmans Whse,Dicks,etc.(lge. sporting goods stores) should all carry them.

It works(sometimes) on grizzlys. Had a budd that was a bear guide in Alaska, that told me the best thing to stop a bear in it's tracks is a 12ga. slug. Sorry I could'nt help more.

I'd say some kind of scent canister/bomb, that was hung using rubber gloves. Don't know about the "exact" spot though.

I can't give you any other better advice than what's been given. Good luck, and good hunting young man. Welcome to the "family"

Ruger 10/22 in a pawn shop might go for somthing like that.

Most Weatherby's are very accurate. Ammo's pricy for their magnum's though.

I'd say drop is right. In Colo. everything has stoped "growing" by end of July/first August. We are hunting Elk(bow) in the middle of August. I grew up in Arkansas and the deer there are "done" around this same time.

I've never used them on walleye, but I don't see why not.

Bullets or Caliber rifle ? As for caliber, The .30's will work well on the plains game(.30-06,.300 Win Mag). Elk type rounds would be good for this.

Mossberg 835/935 in camo should fit your bill. One in pump, other in semi-auto. Both shoot up to 3.5in. Good luck with this. Good luck and Good Hunting.

Works GREAT on deer and elk, I've used mine to take mule and whit-tail deer and elk. They say "varmint" because it works good on coyotes too.

Yoda's right, or did you mean the lead/copper vs rubber(less leathal) rounds.

Read some where it's in the $1100.00 range.

I did'nt even remember the poem/story until your question. When/if you find out please post it so I can pass it on to my "kids". Thank you in advance.

Cheaper than Dirt, Sportsman Guide. Are two that come to mind off hand.

I'd say nothing larger than .22 mag for squirrels,coons. As for coyotes I'd go with something larger, .223 or shotgun possibly.

S & W has always made pretty good weapons and the .30-06 is a great all around cartrage. Sorry, but what is your question?

It would be nice but it won't happen because of several reasons. Unfortinuatly.

It's your boat, and this is just my opinion, but I'd say species should have something to do with it. Like marlin are'nt they tag/release? I've only been once and did'nt tag up so I'm not sure.

The only game that is "yours", as said above is the game that you take ethicly/legaly. It's easier to gain premission to hunt private than most people think. Trade some labor for acess, as I've done, and I even got premission to hunt by knocking on doors and giving a store bought pie ! Took my first "speed goat"/pronghorn(doe)that way. I still send the family a christmas card every year.

6phunter is right, some weapons need a little more "break in" time, if that don't help get it to a gunsmith, and they'll be able to fix you up.

RAPALA makes a good one and some come with it's own cermaic sharpner.

See post under simular qustion. Nuf said?

Yes, I do the same thing for hunting.

I'd open some areas up and plant some food plots with peas/beans, seed is cheap and you said you did'nt mind the dirty hands. The public land/neighbors should'nt be problems though cause as soon as you give them a place to live/hide/eat, as they said in "Field of Dreams" "If you build it, they will come". Talk to your local Game & Fish guys and they can help you with this too. Good luck and Good hunting. Oh I want to come hunt with you for my consulting fee(LOL).

I've never used this company but if you can't get satisfaction I'd call credit card company and talk to them. I use Cheap as Dirt, and Sportsmans. Sorry could'nt help more.

Wood putty, and wood stain should work. But I'd call around to some local taxidermists first.

Bo's right but I'm going to say compound, with crossbows catching up.

As usual, Bo is THE go to guy.

Not sure how to train, I've heard labs were the best dogs to do this though. Maybe go to Ask.com and phrase it like " How do I train my dog to hunt deer sheds. Hope this helps. Good luck and Good hunting.

Check out "Game and Fish Comm" in Penn., once on site, either look up the bow regs, or go to their ask a question section. Good luck and Good Hunting !

Me too, limited number of hunters to answer the question.

If your looking for numbers, the "black belt" in Alabama(over 2,000,000+ in state)

There are groups that host diabled hunts. You should look in to one of these. Buck Masters is just one of them. Good luck and Good hunting !

Bear's right. Brook and lake trout. Congrats on the catch !

I've always used Mossy Oaks camo. It's great.

Pig-n-jig, Pork trailer on a buck tail jig.

Something with infrared capibility, the flas is probably whats spooking them. As for place maybe the sme place you got the first one.

Wolverine and Irish Setter both make good boots, should be a store near you.

One that works(LOL), No Gerry is right once you get him started, let him come on in, in his own time.

Contact your local game and fish people the'll be able to help you out.

Sir Selous was one of the other "GREAT" PHs in Africa not this time frame though.

$100.00/150.00 I wouldnt go more for the "bare bones" model.

Some do come "factory" free floated, the last browning I bought(A-Bolt) and I hear the savage does the same.

Test em' out on E-Bay/ craigslist. Good luck with this.

There is a soft-cover book called Gun Digest, you can get at Wal-Mart that should be able to help you with this.

Pyrodex is one of the cleanest, and they all kick young man, it depends on the amount of powder in the gun. Good luck and good hunting.

There is a soft- cover book called Gun Digest , that you can get at Wal-Mart that should help you with this. I'd say $100.00/$150.00

I'd contact a local gunsmith with that problem and don't try to fix it your self. As for the clip, try a company like DIXIE GUN WORKS. Good luck with this.

Sorry about you loosing your dad, Keep the guns to pass on. As for recomendations, Savage has a good rifle package for fairly cheap, and I like 165gr nossler for rounds. Good luck and good hunting !
