I forget his name, Steve something? And my takeaway from watching about a dozen of his videos is that he must have well over a hundred handguns? And they are all mostly interesting pieces, a good number with various custom touches such as Big Horn sheep handles, and other exotic materials. Seems like half of his videos are filmed at his hunting lodge in Africa somewhere? In either location, Africa or Salmon, Idaho, he has lots of trophies behind him. The one behind him, I think it’s a Roan Antelope, but don’t quote me? It’s a hell of a trophy all by itself, not withstanding a couple Grizzlies you can see scattered about.
Anyway, check it out. He has some great handguns.

A good selection of every day carry guns and holsters. Nothing an average man could not afford.
In other words not a gun snob.
Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on April 30, 2025, 10:20 AM:
Yes, but he has some one of a kind, and rare stuff and guns made custom for him from like Freedom Arms and others, rechambered for stuff like a 500 Linebaugh. This dude has walking around money, for sure!

Just reading 500 Linebaugh makes my wrist and hand hurt.

Been scouting out some new hunting areas that don't include the phrase "Wolf Recovery Zone" in the Unit description.
Been seeing deer, turkey & bear sign. Even ran across Johnny Ringo's grave site, stopped & paid my respects.
Lots of No Trespassing signs.
Onward to the next possibility.

well if you cant hunt, it just as let wolves have it.

Thanks for that link. The guys name is Tim Sundles. Interesting video and he's got a lot more of them. Hell of a trophy room he's got too. I carry his 340gr +P+ 44 mag ammo when in Alaska. I haven't had to shoot anything with it but it makes me feel better just having it. lol
Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on May 03, 2025, 01:20 PM:
Yeah, I have watched maybe 15 of his videos. And TWO trophy rooms to die for; I don’t know exactly where in Africa, but he lives in Salmon. Good looking wife, too!

AZ Game & Fish used to advertise a reward every time the found a wolf with a bullet hole. I asked a fish cop if the ever caught anyone, he said not that he knew about. I haven't seen an ad with a reward in a couple years. I don't think "they" stopped shooting them. What scares me is at 500 yards they all look alike. Thats why I limit my shots to 499.
Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on May 09, 2025, 08:54 AM:
That’s actually true. Up in the Nevada sage, and at night, a damned Kit Fox looks like a coyote at 400 yards and there is no sense of proportion, especially at night. Same thing with a wolf, but I only ever saw one, and it was on the CA/NV border closer to Oregon. But, I’ve seen them in Canada and they have a few coyotes too. They lope a bit different, but it’s still hard to tell depending on conditions….I’d give you the benefit of doubt. Also, I happened to get a couple Red wolves in Texas, must have been close to 50 years ago and didn’t know the difference?

If I don't know what it is then i don't shoot it, and i'm not worried about saving any dam deer. In Dakotas I would see porky pines and didn't know if they was protected or not so never shot any till Randy Roede clued me in that i was suppose to shoot them so next trip out i had a field day on them. I lay them in a certain spot after I pulled the quills and then check on them next morning and if they was gone then I made a calling stand in area for coyotes. I get a few and when i took them home to skin I would then find the quills that got bedded under their skin. The quills actualy got soft after then been underskin for short time.
Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on May 09, 2025, 05:56 PM:
You know what loves porcupine? Bobcat! Coyotes always get a muzzle full of quills but the cat flips them over and attacks the belly. If they made a sound you could probably call in a bunch of cats! I don’t know? Do they have some kind of call? I mostly see them in northern Nevada but the biggest one I ever saw was in Arizona around Oracle, by the Tom Mix monument.
Edit: that critter was so big I thought it was about a 70 pound beaver that we ran over! In a Volkswagen!

WT has porky pine sounds adult and baby. And the S.D. coyotes learned to flip there porky's as well to eat them. Learned behavior.

I watched a Buffalo Bore video yesterday featuring his wife taking a grizzly, and it was a gorgeous bear! Almost a blonde, by far the prettiest grizzly I’ve ever seen.

To hell with the bears, I want to shoot a Wolverine.
Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on May 12, 2025, 09:51 AM:
Yeah, good luck with that! I’ve never seen one. Big animals respect wolverine and they are fearless, ultra high metabolism. I forget how many miles they can cover in a day, always on the move.
But I have killed about 30 badgers. Interesting animal. I swear, I have never seen a bullet exit a badger! Solid muscle. Average is maybe 12-15 pounds but I have got a couple more than twenty pounds. I had a rug made of a big one but my redbone bit the nose off. Bad dog!

I would rather try to skin a live skunk than another dead badger. ![[Eek!]](eek.gif)
Posted by TA17Rem (Member # 794) on May 12, 2025, 05:47 PM:
yep on the skunk, let it lay a day or two and then cut around vents with razor blade and peel away.
Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on May 12, 2025, 09:46 PM:
Yes. Badgers are an interesting animal. At night they will puzzle you, youcan’t figure out what you are looking at. They don’t stare/ Like Tim said before, he won’t shoot anything if he doesn’t know what it is. That’s wise words. Fuck shooting at eyes!
On the other hand, and I don’t know if it’s an old wive’s tale or what? But it is said that a badger can out dig 3 men with shovels! In other words, forget trying to dig one out. Can’t be done. I guess that’s why they invented Doxhunds, can’t spell it/weinerdog….and Bassett Hounds.

Posted by TA17Rem (Member # 794) on May 13, 2025, 06:04 PM:
From what i seen from badgers they give you a quick 1000 yard stare and then move at night. Day time one quick look and they off or back down a hole.
Most I have shot is 6, just wanted a few hides for myself and the local gun dealer. I don't mess with them otherwise since they kind of cool to watch.
Funny thing about badger hides they best in the spring rather than late fall. And they about as tough to skin as a Beaver or otter.

How about my observation? Has anybody drilled a badger through and through? I shot one with my 25-06Ackley, 100 grain Berger and no exit, like every other one I have shot. Never saw an exit! It’s a solid, compact mass of muscle!
Anybody?
Good hunting. El Bee
Edit: come to think of it, the one I had made into a rug was killed with my 270 deer rifle. Skinned it, no exit!

When I was a kid I shot a couple of them on my aunts ranch with my trusty 03-A3 with 150's and no exit. I remember being amazed at that because that round would explode a coyote. All the rest were shot with a 22-250 with 55er's and of course they didn't exit.And yes they are a pain in the ass to skin every inch of them like a beaver.Give me a Kit Fox to skin any day.
Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on May 14, 2025, 10:29 AM:
And yet, I would not waste one of my super accurate, hand loaded serious predator ammo on a kitt fox. Painstakingly assembled, and I always hold my hand from underneath with my fingers blocking the brass from being chucked into the weeds. I take care of my brass and they take care of me. Actually, it pains me to see people backing their bolt back and the case being flung into the environment without a care in the world! Not this kid! My cases never bounce on the rocks or the concrete.

Posted by NVWalt (Member # 375) on May 14, 2025, 04:09 PM:
Well I see we are a little different. I don't care if I use my handcrafted loads on anything legal but I do make sure I get my brass as there really is a lot of work goes into making brass as uniform as you can make it.
As an aside I just tested some super low loads in my 221 with a pipsqueak load of Universal and wow was I surprised at how well it shot those little weighed out gas checked 51 gr boolets.
I may have to drag out the chrony and see how far off from 22LR they are. Report was ridiculously low so I figured it had to be pretty slow. I never shot slowed down anything before always believing if you had a hot rod. Run it like a hot rod.
I know my 22-250 and my 17 like hot loads and I was always happy with their accuracy but what the hey I guess as I get older and slower, so do my loads LOL.
Posted by Leonard (Member # 2) on May 14, 2025, 08:14 PM:
No doubt, attitudes change. I meant no offense, and I have actually shot a kit fox in the past. And, I have passed up a shot on a coyote, occasionally, for reasons that escape me, at the moment?
But, you know, any deer, any antlered deer, any Forked horn or better, etc. etc. Sometimes, you don’t want to shoot something. Take Africa, chance encounters, and every one has a price tag. You might have a budget, but then a nice Sable appears. The price of some of these trophy’s is unreasonable. You can sort out the license fees later, it’s not like here where you have that tag in your pocket months ago; and maybe accumulated 20 years of preference points to get it.
Not over there, things can be agreed on as you go, but this has not a lot to do with declining to pop a kit fox that you kick up. Actually, they are about as nocturnal as they get, I hardly ever see one in the daytime, can’t even remember the last time one crossed the road in the daytime time?
Another thing. You probably pay what? $50,000 for a Sable and then you don’t recover it! Doesn’t matter, it costs your fee for a lost animal….now that would kinda hurt!
Good hunting. El Bee
Edit: PS do not get the wrong idea. There is not any animal that I would cough up 50k as a trophy. I can’t now, and never could travel in that rarefied company!
