Type b Oberndorf Mauser 7x57
All matching 1910 commercial type b
Stock shows it’s had a working life, adding tons of character. Bore is very good. Small amounts of wear to metal work, minor, but not ‘perfect’, as would be expected.
If you know your mausers, there’s not much to say really, it’s the holy grail.
Located in UK, but can be exported via agents at cost
Not really sure how to price this, finding one is a bit like hitting a gold ore these days.
Let’s say enquiries below £7,750 pounds sterling are welcome by...

BOAT-BASED COASTAL BLACK BEAR IN BRITISH COLUMBIA
Earlier this month I completed my first-ever black bear hunt and my first-ever boat-based hunt and it was simply one of the best things I've ever done. The hunt was in British Columbia and we lived on a slightly converted commercial fishing boat for 6 days.

The Thermal Camera (Thermal Imager) Debate
BLUF: Thermals are a tool for the hunter, the game agency, the wildlife manager, and the predator or hog hunter.
There are perceived and real ethical thoughts on thermals that create emotion.
Cons:
1. Thermals increase success finding wildlife in the woods. While this sounds like a positive, if you are issuing 100 tags as a wildlife agency and you increase success to 70-80% by allowing thermals, and you traditionally have 40-50% success you will have a hard drop over time in the...
