Official KZread Channel of Col. (ret) Craig Boddington. Craig humbly refers to himself simply as a "Gun Writer". The truth is he's a decorated Marine, the author of 30 books on hunting and firearms, and the author of thousands of articles. Throughout over four decades of work in the field Craig held strong as a journalist resisting the calls to become a celebrity/ Craig retained his credibility because of this commitment.

@@CTBoddington Thank you, Sir!
I love this!!!!!!!!!
Craig is a Master Hunter, with Much Knowledge to Share
Thanks !!
Way handy for antelope hunts. A buddy guides oryx hunters in New Mexico and swears by tripods on these hunts.
Thanks Col. I met you at a SHOT Show in New Orleans years ago. I had read your articles since I was young. It was a pleasure to speak with you. I just now found your page.👍
Wonderful product. I have their electric version. Very versatile and great for the DIY person who is handy with tools.

some day ill win the lotto and ill make my way to Africa!!!🐘
I started my large game hunting journey back in 1986. This video reminded me of the videos the game wardens showed us in the hunter’s safety course I took. Good memories. Thanks.
craig i was just wondering if they still had the .375 minimum in africa to hunt big and nasty things or what else would you recommend
I've never gone through Istanbul with a firearm, but I've been to Turkey and Istanbul quite a few times. A stop over in Istanbul is very affordable and lots of fun. For those concerned with safety, the police are firmly in control. Enjoy
I'll call you when I save up a years wages!
I follow Boddington since the first number of Rifle Shooter
What a gorgeous lodge this is. Too bad I'll probably never be able to afford going to wherever this is
Lovely interview Marina. Very well done
Thank you for your knowledge and all you do for the outdoor communities
ok!
Thank you so much for sharing this!!!
Thank you Mr. Klein for believing in Roy Weatherby!
And then, gun mags started to bow down to "tactical" gurus with zero understanding of American gun owners or tactics. Rock chalk jawhawk! ps: We used to have coffee together in the old Union cafeteria.
ABSOLUTELY REQUIRED FOR STANDING SHOTS AT GAME.
Absolutely!
Any idea when this was produced? I didn't see a date in the credits, but guessing late 50s or 60s based on the clothing & helicopter. Looks very similar in production style to some of the Fred Bear programs I have seen.
*Promosm* 🤭
That’s on my bucket list
some day before i croak im coming to africa
Thanks for the video! Hope you share more of these! Made me remember that first classic photograph appearing at the beginning of O'Connor's book "The Big Game Rifle", featuring Herb Klein along with his guide and a very nice ram he hunted in the Yukon with the .300 Wby Mag shooting 180 grain bullets very fast.
What year was did this hunt take place?
Gotta' be late sixties based on the information on the can. We just haven't had time or staffing to did in on this archive. Hopefully soon.
back in the days when hunters still cared about the trophy ,not just the size and numbers but also about what can we do about the meat and finding ways to use it
More of this kind if you have them around please .
We've got a bunch. We're just shorthanded and it is expensive to digitize. There's no real way to monetize them because KZread doesn't allow monetization of hunting. So, we need someone that would take it on as a passion project.
Stay the hell away from South Africa
craig,are they handicap accessible too?
Nice boar looks big
Crazy head and hand movement make you look like a tweeker, Craig. Hard to watch.
I hunted on the Burchell farm a couple of weekends ago. Fred Burchell the older brother took us out. I grew up hunting in Africa, and I have honestly never experienced such a great experience as with Frontier Safaris. I highly recommended them. The boma is filled with memorabilia from previous hunters from all over the world, and they speak volumes!
Comfy 😅
Congrats Well Done... Whens the Cook out...?😊
That doe is like wth is going on I thought we was on a wine date 😅
Nobody fills a freezer with horns. Better to have taken the doe. Doh!
What horns? Nice antlers are a bonus!
Beautiful shot, do you know how far it was?
great shot young lady.
Way to go, Donna! Congrats!
