Every deer hunter has dreamed of owning their own hunting camp. Most camps or hunting cabins are usually weathered, or shifted, or rotted. Not to worry though, the Maine Cabin Masters can turn a teardown into an almost-new deer camp palace in just a few months. We hash out the details of finding and rebuilding a deer cabin with Dixie and Jedi, (aka Matt Dix and Jared Baker of the show Maine Cabin Masters. And of course, we talk about Matt and Jared’s Maine deer hunting adventures.

Big Game Hunting Podcast
Kevin Robertson is back again today to follow our discussion from last week up with a more detailed conversation on elephant hunting. As always, he has some great stories to share with us I’m sure you’ll learn a lot from today’s podcast, even if you’re not ever planning on going elephant hunting yourself. I know you’ll also appreciate our discussion on ballistics specifically as they relate to elephant hunting.

Show sponsor: I highly recommend purchasing a copy of It Shouldn’t Happen and The Perfect Shot II if you think you might want to hunt in Africa one day. If you have an upcoming hunt or if you just want to learn more about game in Africa and want a great “all in one” reference, you will not be disappointed with either book. Go to thebiggamehuntingblog.com/kevin to get copies of each one.

2) What typical shooting distances are like on elephant.
3) Detailed discussion on terminal ballistics as it relates to elephant hunting.

5) Why the frontal brain shot is so difficult to execute.

7) How to judge elephant trophy quality.
8) Where you should go elephant hunting.
