I'll climb on this band wagon with photos next week or so when I have a bit more time. I have an original Carl Gutva M96 mauser 6.5x55 from 1898 it has been sproterized and shot over 25+ animals between me and my son and other hunters borrowing it on hunts with me. The Carl Gustav Sweed...

Great Kudu

Incredible hunt and incredible outfitter. Done it twice happy twice do it if you can for the experience and the photos. Tracking them and looking into that yellow eyes awake things in you.

Thursday Morning heading off north to Tolwe Limpopo province meat hunt mainly impalas on the menu but if something nice steps in in front of me and the 7x57 then it will be so. Bullet to be used 160gr Safari Bullet Company at just under 2600fps. My one friend is going to borrow my 6.5x55...

Thanks for sharing.

Praying for speedy recovery and getting back at it, Kudos for your team/trackers to have the clear minds to go back and kill the buffalo. USN, it is a tough one but know that you can replay the whole event 1 million times it cannot be changed. I'm sure you will be and commit yourself to help...

7-8

You might have given me some great ideas to pipm my High Power. Very nice !!!!!

Congrats and as the rest waiting for the Photos. What a experience to have hunted with Lou Hallemore.

Further update from Guy below looks like all is good and he is on the mend. Howzit buggers still a bit groggy and thanks for all the kind thoughts and messages. I just come out of Theatre in Milton Park Hospital and good news from the surgeon here is that Doctor James Mangwisi at Hippo...

Posting text below of what I received of the incident. Hi Gents , Guy was desperate to join Cliffs cat club . Client wounded the cat last night at 9:30 we followed for 1 1/2 hours but blood had stopped after 80 m . (High shoulder shot )I got Guy in to help , we pumped fairly quickly about 400...

Very nice some superb animals there, congrats.

Good news thanks for sharing. Those tusks are going to look amazing.

Good to know you will be there I will not be coming to the show this year but hope you can come over every year.

Amazing thanks for sharing this dream with us it is really coming together now. It will truely be something to behold well done so far.

Some good animals there congrats.

Photos is needed for any proof that this hunt occured. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Karl, hope someone picks up this deal.

Great news and good work from your side to get these hunters life on paper to keep for future hunters.

Very nice where is photo of Willy the Wildebeest?

Thanks Saswart, I read the following article from the page as well and it is well written from a outsider standpoint. https://www.mahohboh.org/blatant-untruths-nowhere-to-hide-canned-big-cat-hunting-explained-news24/

Keep us posted and have a great adventure Gauteng is very wet at the moment.

Sarg, permit is needed for export if you shoot a jackal, monkey or baboon and dont need to export you make the calculation.

A lot of good opinions. Anti hunting is man made: Living in a cozy home ordering groceries online ease of spending time in front of the screen just detaches us as humans of being part of nature. Its just a switch humans think of themselves as demi gods no need for nature as we create...

Sarg, in Limopo yes you need a permit to export for a Black Backed Jackal as they cannot be added to the exemption permit. But its not a tops permit. Animals typically on and expemption permit are animals that can be moslty kept behind high fence. Monkeys, baboons, jackal and more can move in...

With all being said and done I am glad I could partake in two CBL hunts, will I do it again if I have the chance and means to do it, for sure! I do not look at the track in that sand and say how cute a big pussy cat has walked here. We followed the tracks and were all on high alert as that...

Yes certian species like Tsesebe, Black wildebeest common reedbuck and a few others even if you have exemption on the property needs those TOPS permits and some must be done before the animal is hunted. Also for the night critters special permits need to be in place beforehand. Baboons, vervet...

I am just confirming what Stuart is saying make sure to have the TOPS in place where it is needed on certain species and provinces before the hunt itself.

With premium expanding bullets you might also loose penetration with higher speed as the bullet will mushroom quicker and then decelarate faster. But then again depening on the game you hunt especially the bigger thicker game is it an issue? Unless its a backup shot, shot from an odd angle?

With the time you have on hand and would like to spend Timbavati and Klaserie will be a good choice or Caprivi strip you might even get the oldest most nastie looking buffalo there and even pay for him as a management bull.

Lon, unless you are in the EU medical care is expensive everywhere in the world and on that note keep on fighting. I hate paying my medical insurance every month as it is high but with that I know I'm basically covered.

The King has Risen and defeated death.

It helps to live in Africa for sure. Working hard making plans scraping monies together dreaming and so on. When I pass one day I'm taking nothing with me so might as well spend time enjoying what this life on earth can give us. I'm sure hunting will even be better in heaven. Seems to me...

I have a bunch of good hunts under the belt and still working on my favorite. :LOL: Some photos of last 4 years or so of good hunting with family including friends. Very blessed to share these and able to do these hunts. This year I will be doing a giraffe cow management hunt not hunted a...

Thanks IvW I'm going to go with 160gr Safari Bullet Company, bullets I like that I can push them to 2600fps and makes it easier for those unexpected longer shots you find in the bushveld on open areas up to 300 meters. Meat damage is minimal as they are bonded same as Rhino and if they work as...

Congrats and thanks for sharing

Arrived in Ellisras now called Lephalale in Limpopo in 1986 when I was 10 years ols back then the town was smal and the bushveld was all around us. I suppose the Africa bug started bitting when reading Tintin as a young boy my father or no one in my family hunted but one day we visited a farm...

Keep to hunting the Eastern Cape and voice your concerns about hunting there with your wealth of information. The 9.3 would be the great 2nd rifle on this hunt and your Giraffe will be taken around 50-100 yards. Just bring proper bonded bullets for the girraffe or go with the 416 Rigby. A big...

I have been lucky enough to bump into him a few times in the gunshops here but it has been a while and he sure aged from last I saw him. A true gentleman soft spoken and will never boast of his achievemensts. It is actually amazing that he just kept going on with Africa throwing everything at...

My CZ550 458 Lott with the Trjicon SRO 1 MOA dot With 500gr Safari Bullet Company for softs 500gr Impala Monolithic Solid 5 rounds in the magazine. At 50 Meters the bullets almost touch each other and who wants to shoot a elephant further out than 50 meters anyway and running away shot it...

Had the same issue with S&B brass and bought a Lee 30-30 Win Shell holder solved the problem.

Thanks I think bedding the action did the trick.

Damn, and I thought I was addicted to recoil so with the world in short ends with powder, primers and bullets we do make plans with local bullets and look very well after our cases but I probarbly do about 200 rounds +- with my 458 Lott and about 50 with the 375 H&H per year. But I must say...

This is going to be neat and something to be seen very nice of you sharing this.

With all these answers I would first ask that specific buffalo bull you are about to shoot if he has read any report on bullet performance if not then hit him with any soft that you have mentioned whatever is the most accurate in your double.

So got back my 7x57 from the Bedding job done. Then went to the range yesterday to see what the rifle is capable off. I am stoked and very happy some loads needs fine tuning but I hit the nail on the head with the 154gr Hornady SST load. This load will be my long range hunting load for...

I wonder if the same outcry would happen if IVORY POACHERS killed two big tuskers? NO, it won't happen as their is no fingers to point to a specific person and no Ivory to trace back.

I am planning to for sure just need to make time and some money but I'm working on it.

Wow @DE KLERK SAFARIS , some fine eland is that from your other laaaaarge property I have not been on yet?

hahaha, One day hopefully not too far from now I will be able to get on the tracks of a big eland bull myself in the mopane bush with my 458 Lott. I am going to be picky and mke sure the bull is going to have a ruff of hair. Considering doing on it on a 5-7 day hunt late in the year end of...
