The Hornet Project: An action in hand
http://thehornetproject.blogspot.com/2012/02/action-in-hand.html
Thursday, 16 February 2012. An action in hand. The NSW Firearms Registry managed to process my Permit To Acquire in record time and I received my PTA late last week; no action in sight and the official paperwork burning a hole in my pocket. The Greengrass Antique and Modern Arms Fair. Is on this weekend. What I should have done is grabbed the kids and headed over for a bit of a look-see as to what was on the tables. That was the plan. And firearmsales.com.au. Wait till the weekend or just lock in the BSA?

The Hornet Project: The Hornet Project begins...
http://thehornetproject.blogspot.com/2012/01/hornet-project-begins.html
Monday, 23 January 2012. The Hornet Project begins. And so it came to be that I purchased a Remington Model 700 VSSF chambered in .220 Swift and topped it with a Leupold VX-III 6.5-20x40mm. I shot it for a few months before fitting a Hart 2oz trigger; great bit of gear but it meant I no longer had a safety (nothing lost there! And rather annoyingly at first, there was no bolt stop! The Remington Model 700 VSSF .220 Swift with. Leupold VX-III 6.5-20 x 40mm;. For a long time now I've been considering addin...

Return to Nitro Express: I want a double rifle: part 1
http://returntonitroexpress.blogspot.com/2012/02/best-start-with-honest-truth-i-want.html
Tuesday, 7 February 2012. I want a double rifle: part 1. Best start with the honest truth: I want a double rifle. In 1884, Paul Vielle invented the first smokeless gunpowder suitable for rifles. Unlike blackpowder that it replaced, the resultant propellant known today as pyrocellulose. Produced negligible smoke when fired and was three times more powerful than black powder, generating much higher muzzle velocity in the same sized case. In the early 20. By the mid 20. Century, following the end of World W...

The Hornet Project: March 2012
http://thehornetproject.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 6 March 2012. So which cartridge for the The Hornet Project? So I've been doing a bit of research into what might be a suitable cartridge for The Hornet Project. Other than the need for a rimmed cartridge, there are not too many prerequisites. Of course, nothing "big" as I really don't want to get too close my .220 Swift. Best define the task before I take this any further. So we're calling it a small pest or "varmint". So low recoil for maximum visibility on target engagement would be a plus.

http://taxidermy-101.blogspot.com/2012/12/daggaboys-new-chapter-and-now-taxidermy.html
Friday, 7 December 2012. DaggaBoy's new chapter - And now, taxidermy! As a young boy I lived on a small Mediterranean island and guns and hunting were a part of our day-to-day life. I would often help my father clean and oil his Belgium FN Browning A5 - l-abjad. The white one. We would spend hours f' id-dura f'l-. That my father had built when he was 18. Twice a year, f'l-istaġun tal-gammiem. We would head t o il-wied ta-Kaproċ għall-passa. With the Franchi in hand, keeping cover. We came across a couple...

In Norway and beyond . Wednesday, 29 May 2013. Swedish Wild Boar Hunt. Myself and my friend Jon Anders have just returned from a weekend Swedish wild boar hunt. We departed Oslo at 9am and hit the road for our intended destination of Karlskrona about 8.5 hours drive away. The drive was long but we were kept entertained by the number of roe deer in sight on the fields next to the highway, we had literally seen hundreds by the time we reached Karlskrona at 5:30pm. I sat there for several more hours with no...

Hunting Adventures: December 2012
http://jonathan81.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
In Norway and beyond . Sunday, 23 December 2012. The rest of the hunt turned out to be fruitless, there were no signs of fresh roe deer tracks so we decided to finish up early and have a little camp fire to mark the end of a successful year hunting with friends. Here are a few pics of the fox. I'm hoping to do more fox hunting with my friend Jon Anders over the winter months so hopefully we'll be able to get some video footage, stay tuned! Sunday, December 23, 2012. Friday, 21 December 2012. It's still e...

Hunting Africa's Big Game: Processing a bull giraffe
http://huntingafricasbiggame.blogspot.com/2012/10/processing-bull-giraffe.html
Thursday, 4 October 2012. Processing a bull giraffe. Thought I'd post a few images of the field processing of the giraffe bull. I shot him at 7:52am and we were working hard till close to 3:00pm to get him skinned and broken down. He fell in a pretty handy position with awkward but relatively good access for the vehicles but the skinning was a bit awkward at times. Enjoy this brief photo essay. The missus snapped this picture while I was watching the early stages of the skinning operation. These guys...
