261: Live From South Africa!
06/08/23 • 52 min
Join me, the two podcast listeners who I hunted with in Africa, and 2 of our PHs for an informal "campfire style" discussion of the highlights of our safari!
Subscribe to my Patreon channel to see video from this hunt before I release it elsewhere. Additionally, Patreon subscribers will hear about any potential future podcast hunts before the general public and will also receive first priority on available spots.
Message me through Patreon or email me at [email protected] if you're interested in potentially joining me on a hunt in the future with some other podcast listeners.
Like we said a couple times on the podcast, don’t wait to hunt in Africa if that’s something you want to do. There’s no guarantee that you’ll have the time, money, or physical ability to hunt if you put things off for a year or two. As I record this, we actually have TWO slots remaining for hunts in August and September 2023. I’m also offering reduced pricing on those openings as well.
I won’t be there to hunt with you, but you’ll be hunting with Kobus, Christian, and/or Johan in that exact same area where Michael, Fernando, and I all hunted. And even though I wont be there in person, just like I did with Mike and Fernando, I’ll also be available to you to help answer questions, sort out logistics, and just do everything possible to ensure your mind is at ease and that you have a fun trip. You can hunt plains game. You can hunt buffalo. You can hunt both if you’d like.
Email me [email protected] OR visit bestsafarihunt.com to learn a little bit more about these hunts (prices there do not reflect the discount I mentioned earlier). Make sure to state that you’re a podcast listener and I’ll give you a bonus above and beyond the regular discount if you book for 2023.

260: 22 Hornet Cartridge Profile
I have another cartridge profile for you today where we’ll dive into the details of the 22 Hornet and see how it compares to the 22 Long Rifle, the 22 Magnum, and the 223 Remington. I think you’ll agree with me that, at first glance anyway, it makes a whole lot more sense to use more modern cartridges like the .223 Remington or the .220 Swift instead of the .22 Hornet for small game and varmint hunting. However, even though the cartridge has been around for almost a century, and even though it can’t come anywhere close to the performance of those newer cartridges on paper, the .22 Hornet is still a very useful varmint hunting cartridge. Well, that’s what I’m going to talk about in this episode as I break down the 22 Hornet in detail and give you the information you need to determine if it's well suited for your individual needs.

262: AXIL XCOR Ear Bud Launch With Weston Harris
The folks at AXIL sent me a set of the new XCOR ear buds just in time for me to take them on my recent hunt in Africa. I used them as hunting ear protection every day over there and holy cow am I impressed with their performance. I still like the GS Extreme ear buds, but I think the new XCOR ear buds are a big step up in quality and fix a lot of the issues people didn’t like about the GS Extreme. In that vein, Weston Harris is back on the show with us today to talk about the new XCOR ear buds, what makes them special, how they’re different from the GS Extreme, and what the future holds for AXIL.

Make sure you protect your hearing during hunting season by wearing ear protection while you’re afield. Visit thebiggamehuntingblog.com/earbuds to purchase a set of the new AXIL XCOR earbuds that are comfortable to wear, offer great ear protection, provide excellent hearing enhancement, and also have bluetooth connectivity. Plus, you’ll also get the best pricing on them in the process through that link.
