No, and I can guarantee you and anyone else, that neither of them would be proud of some of the things I do or say, but both of them would be damn proud of me for speaking my mind and not mealy mouthing around like a carp sucking scum. Call me a horses ass, an asshole, bastard, I have been called it all, and it does not change the fact that I am going to speak my mind in clear easy to understand Texan, no insinuations, no innuendo, no fuzzy gray area. I have had whining little POS's mouth off before about how sorry a guide I must be simply from posts on internet chat rooms. I have come to the conclusion, that people that ain't got any better sense, than to judge a person they have never met or dealt with in any manner, from words in an internet chat room, probably should have died at birth. With most normal people, the measure of a person is based on actaul inter-actions with them, not words on a computer moniotor or hearsay from someone that may or does have ulterior motives for their opinion of that person.

Ghubert I know you are a hunting enthusiast and I am glad to see that someone in the UK enjoys hunting and shooting. I know how difficult it is to do over there after having lived in the UK for 6 years. But for someone who went on there first ever hunt in 2007 (I checked all your posts on AR), I do not think that that qualifes you to call the 35 Whelen "gay." Get off that angle, it betrays your inexperience and serves no purpose. Barstooler | |||

Haven't read all the stuff above but have been using the 338-06, 35 Whelen and 9.3x62 for 10-15 years depending upon caliber. Moose, eland, kudu, black bear, elk, hogs and deer have dropped to them without much noted delta in reaction. I really like them all equally and use them as such depending upon the hunt as some are lighter than the other. This spring I will chase grizzly with the 338-06 in complete confidence. If I am chasing bigger critters than those listed I will take a bigger gun. | |||

Crazyhorse I have no idea what triggered your post as I have not read the first two pages, but I feel the need to jump in and disagree with your logic. From my experience on the internet over the past 12 years I have found that a persons true character will come out sooner or later. I would never judge a person based on one or two posts. But when they show a pattern of behavior, whether honorable or dishonorable, it has always shown their true character IME. Interactions over the internet seem to be just as valid as interactions at handshake distance. But the internet does have the advantage in the fact that the entire interaction is right there for everyone to read and outsiders can view both sides of any disagreement. But everyone's experiences are different. Jason "You're not hard-core, unless you live hard-core." _______________________ Hunting in Africa is an adventure.

Sako makes a left handed 9.3x62, in the Sako75 IV action. If the rules were any different in the UK, I would have one like a shot! Buy a .270 or .30-06 and rebarel it...One day... better have a gun and not need it than need a gun and not have it.... | |||

Jason, pay real close attention to your Last Sentence, Everyone's Experiences Are Different. From my experiences, peopel are judged by real time interactions with them, of course, I live in the Real World, where a persons worth is judged by their actions and deeds, not by typed words. The folks that make judgements of others simply from what they post on an internet forum are no higher evolved than scum sucking leeches. Intelligent humans know, that face to face interactions are a lot different than internet Bull Shit. People are a lot less likely to mouth off if the person they are dealing with is a good right hook away from their smart mouth, my guess is that would apply to you also. The internet is the most sterile atmosphere there is when it comes to human emotions, if you believe different you are a sad case. As far as the business about hiring or not hiring a guide or outfitter because of their "On Screen Personality" on an Internet forum, that is, the clients perogative, but as I have said many times in the past, I would not want a person that judges me by words on a site like this as a client. Even the rocks don't last forever. | |||

So I guess if someone acts like a total jerk on the internet I should completely discount it on the basis that that person might be a really great guy in person because he fears that my right hook might be about to land on his smart mouth???? Honestly I prefer to deal with people who conduct themselves honorably in all aspects of their lives(including the internet). I have been reading your posts for a long time and have always enjoyed them, so I'm not going to judge you on this thread. But man, would you want your children/grandchildren/wife/parents/friends to read the stuff you posted earlier in this thread?

True character eventually bleeds out when people are not bound by the rules of conventional face to face personal interaction. Judging soemone based on one or two posts?? NO. But if someone continually spouts BS and asshattery, what choice do they leave us?? If you don't want to be viewed negatively, don't act negatively, neither in person or anonymously on the net... . . | |||

Hi Barstooler, I'm flattered that you took the time to check me out mate but relax mate, I was just trying to distract (going)Crazyhorse and perhaps introduce some levity in to the thread. How can anyone in all seriousness call a calibre producing 3000ft/lb, gay? Another poster on this thread, Super-nog Arlid Iverson, has more hunting experience than I have years on this earth. I hunt with when I can and respect his opinion on these matters greatly. He shoots a .35Whelen and speaks highly of it, which is good enough for me. My apologies if the irony wasn't readily apparent sir. Regards, Amir | |||

Only some people on the InterNet that are 99% pompous asses veiw me negatively. People that meet me in person or those on the InterNet that are adults and have actually led some type of semi-normal life, do not seem to have a problem with my attitude and I am definitely not a negative person. I have noticed that some folks have a problem with people that are realists however. Even the rocks don't last forever. | |||

Ever wonder what a turd in the park grass would say, if it could speak? Perhaps it would say: I have every right to be here as you. My duty is to fertilize this grass, and promote growth. I can stink if I want to - it's my prerogative, and my way of self-expression. BTW, semi-normal types don't have a problem with my atitude, and I'm definately not negative, and after all, most people choose to step around the dog turds. If your dog rolls in me, why is that my problem? Keep your own dog on a leash.

Old Sarge is also a fan of the 450 Rigby. The 375 HH is a plains game cart that can take the big and nasty that's one reason why it has so much value. For those who spend the time to learn to shoot larger diameter bullets why go down in size? The 375 HH and 9,3x62 is for those who are frail or have not learned to shoot the biggies. No fault in being frail but why not go as big as you can? The good thing is bullets have become better and better but if your life is on the line and you could shoot equally well the 577 Nitro and the 375 HH most would go large.

If I could only have one rifle and hunt only with one cart practicality says 375 HH. If two guns then the 30-06 and 416 rigby If three guns then 243, 338 win mag and 416 rigby If four then 243, 30-06, 375 HH and 416 Rigby 9,3x62 is a euro/afro nostalgic niche cart The 375 HH is a practical workhorse and not a niche cart. The 35 whelen is a niche bubba medium bore with all love and respect for bubbas. I'd chose the 35 whelen over the 9,3 because I'm more bubba then eurosycophant. 577 BME 3"500 KILL ALL 358 GREMLIN 404-375 *we band of 45-70ers* (Founder) Single Shot Shooters Society S.S.S.S.

For what it's worth...I guess you'all haven't discovered the 9.3x66..AKA..370 SakoMag. In the Sako 85...very good shooters. It's a 9.3x62 on steroids. Crunch the numbers...equal performance of 375H&H with the kick of 35Whelen. Get one at 800-327-SAKO. Ask for JB. He has 'em ALL in the USA. This is ideal with Federal factory ammo in 286gr Barnes triple shock or 286gr Nosler partition. Very bad JuJu on most species worldwide. | |||

Hi Peter, I'm 6' but theres a little diseption in the photo since I'm standing on the raised portion of the tip of the bow of the skiff and the antlers are sitting maybe 6" lower than I am. Additionally, the camera is on the center console of the skiff which is maybe less than 2' higher than my feet so the camera is looking up. That bull measured better than 65". Odds of Crazy being invited to hunt one based on internet personality or him/her/it being able to afford a hunt for one based on its internet booking proceeds are remote. | |||

It seems perhaps a bit hypocritical to write something like this and then decry other posters that form personal opinions based on internet posting. How is the internet bookings for your texas hunts going Crazy? I see you're still advertizing them on AR. Maybe Vapo is just toying with you and really is ready to send a deposit. | |||

100% with you, except on the 338, make mine a 9.3..
More Danny than Arnie eh? In all seriousness they're all workhorses! The reports of guys like Arlid, Mouse93 and Ganyana that the 9.3 doesn't give up a significant amount to the 375 means it's a little more than a niche eurosycophant cartridge right? | |||

Going just exactly like I like them, I have some repeat clients from last year, whether you believe that or not, and a group of new clients this year. Without being any more of an ass than I have to be, a seven year old half wit can or could understand, that if I had wanted to be a BIG TIME guide like you, I would offer hunts for something other than Javelina. I don't. I enjoy the few hunts I do each year, Because I Ain't Depending On Guiding For A Living. I think that is twice I have said that, my guided hunt operation is done for FUN, I enjoy hunting with folks that like to hunt. Just like your picture of the moose rack, I don't want to kill a moose that big, but would like to kill one bigger than the Bull Winkle I killed in Newfoundland. But on NONE of the guided hunts I have been on, has a guide asked me my opinion on one damn thing, and I have been hunting with one guide since 1992. Even the rocks don't last forever. | |||

If you could only have 2 rifles for hunting anywhere. A 223 and a 375Ruger. The 9.3x62 is almost as good as the 9.3x64. Brenneke. Which I prefer to the 375 . Until. I need to buy brass for my x64. .If it can,t be grown , its gotta be mined .... | |||
