00:00 Corrections
12:35 For varmint hunting and whitetails, which is better? The new 6.5 Creedmoor or the .243 Winchester?
14:36 What are your thoughts about the new Remington core lokt tipped 3006 ammunition?
18:00 In all my years of hunting, I've never used a scope. Why should I start?
21:25 I just traded an older Savage Axis in 308 Win for a Parker Hale 300 Win Mag. I will be using it for this year's moose hunt. Do you have any knowledge/experience/comments to make on the Parker Hale rifles?
24:00 Does it bother you that the newer bullet and gun models are designed for precision shooters and not hunters?
26:33 Just curious, what is the difference between a rolling block and a falling block? Or are they just different names for the same mechanism?
28:04 For Africa hunts, I know you've mentioned BookMyHunt before. Are all of those outfitters on that site going to be honest and moral about how game is taken? I don't want to make a mistake with a dishonest or immoral outfitter. Another question, l know there is the lottery system as well as point systems here in the US, especially as nonresidents; how does it work over there or in other countries?

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.
