30-06 for Africa Safari Hunt? - Season 2: Episode 68

Welcome to the Ron Spomer Outdoors Podcast! In this episode, I answer your questions about African safari hunting and more!

00:00 - Intro
00:44 - Best rifle for Africa safari hunt?
02:34 - For Bolt-action rifles and other long arms, do you have a favorite brand(s) & model(s) of sniper scopes for precision shooting?
09:33 - I am heading on my first moose hunt in Newfoundland in October. I am having a very difficult time choosing which rifle to bring. I have a 270 with which I have shot many critters and I’m intimately familiar with, a 7mm Rem Mag that was my favorite last year, killing a black bear, an elk, an antelope, mule deer, and a great whitetail, a 358 Winchester with a great trigger and stainless barrel, and a 35 Whelen. Please help me break the tie!
14:02 - If you were going to start a gun collection of only American-made rifles ( in American calibers) and American-made shotguns what would be your top priorities?
19:00 - "Hunt honest, shoot straight" is a great slogan. Would you share why you choose these as the rules you live by?
21:42 - For your beloved .308., what bullet (type/weight/mfg) for a hand load would you suggest for deer?
26:10 - I've never hunted but want to start hunting for food. I don't know anything past getting my permit and rifle ready. Where do you suggest a new hunter start in their hunting education?

Who is Ron Spomer
For 44 years I’ve had the good fortune to photograph and write about my passion – the outdoor life. Wild creatures and wild places have always stirred me – from the first flushing pheasant that frightened me out of my socks in grandpa’s cornfield to the last whitetail that dismissed me with a wag of its tail. In my attempts to connect with this natural wonder, to become an integral part of our ecosystem and capture a bit of its mystery, I’ve photographed, hiked, hunted, birded, and fished across much of this planet. I've seen the beauty that everyone should see, survived adventures that everyone should experience. I may not have climbed the highest mountains, canoed the wildest rivers, caught the largest fish or shot the biggest bucks, but I’ve tried. Perhaps you have, too. And that’s the essential thing. Being out there, an active participant in our outdoor world.
