You must be bored and in lockdown!

Better than spending time in the PF, I guess!

In choices for "how long has it been" you need to add this year.
Some hunting has been done this year in a few African countries, both pre lockdowns and after some African countries reopened.


Hunting.... it's not everything, it's the only thing.

Once you write a survey you can't change it without resetting it.

the choices of countries let out Tanzania, Mozambique.

No combinations of them, so I went with the closest one.

How long has it been, well options were again close, covered by others above.

Going after COVID. That is relative, to finding a location and animals to go after. where I have never been before.

Dream hunt. poor choices. so went with one that would like to do some day.

Taxadermy. poor choices. So went with one that I could possible do.

Firearms, I starting to think you are hitting the tequila early today.

On the “taking my own gun”, I don’t go if they won’t let me bring my Blaser....so far, most countries pay me to bring it!

Ross,

I had a dozen 5/8ths 24 brakes around here and I finally figured out one that worked this morning on that 280 Ackley Barrel you sold me. I agree, it is hard to not like a Blaser. I have 3 barrels and two stocks, eventually I'll get a couple more barrels 375/416 and 25-06 or something.

Those of the great un-washed just don't understand paying $3500 for a plastic and steel gun built on a CNC machine in Baden Wurtenburg, Germany instead of a $350 Ruger American built of plastic and steel on a CNC machine in America. I don't get it! Roll Eyes

You boys and your ugly sweaters/blasers
Anyway, Africa is fun and when man wants to go and can afford it then it is as it should be and go
How many times and when?
It don’t matter
Fun and passion should not be counted, it only brings that kinda stupid competition just like head measurements
