Big Game Hunting Podcast - Hunting Africa, North America, & More!

Hunting in Africa was one of my dreams for many years until I made that fantasy come true back in 2006 on a hunt in Namibia with my dad. I've been back to Africa a number of times since then with safaris in South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Mozambique where I've hunted many species of plains and dangerous game. During the course of all those hunts, I've learned a great deal about hunting in Africa (often the hard way) and this episode is the first in a series about hunting in Africa where I'm going to share a lot of those lessons with you.

Hunting big game with a muzzleloader can be an extremely fulfilling experience and as a result, muzzleloader hunting is becoming more and more popular among hunters these days. However, hunting with a muzzleloader can also be extremely challenging and frustrating. This is especially true with late season muzzleloader hunting where hunters may have to deal with extremely cold and/or wet conditions.

For those who are planning on taking the old front stuffer out into the woods this year, here are a few muzzleloader hunting tips that I've learned the hard way.

Since I first started hunting with a muzzleloader, I've tried out several a number of different muzzleloader sights and scopes and have gotten excellent results from several of them. Choosing the best sighting system for your muzzleloader really depends on what conditions you hunt in, what you're trying to accomplish, and what the regulations are where you're hunting.

In this episode, I'm going share my picks of the best muzzleloader scopes and sights for hunters and what situations each different sight is best in.

I think most hunters will agree that choosing the right propellant and primer for your muzzleloader can be an overwhelming experience due to the sheer number of options available. I struggled with the same problem when I first got started hunting with a muzzleloader many years ago. Since then I've tried lots of different load combinations and I've also gained a lot of insight into the strengths and weaknesses of the various propellants and primers under different conditions.

In this episode, I'm going to provide the pros and cons of some of the most popular powder and primers and provide some recommendations on which one you should be using.
