First trip to Africa we were treated to Mushroom Kudu fillet. My wife loved it. 3rd trip the BBQ warthog ribs were a standout. If you ask almost any hunt will result in wild game being served. I've enjoyed most of it. Bruce

My dad had a 760 in 30-06. One of the few things that didn't show up when dividing the estate. I used it a couple of times. He told me once " it doesn't shoot well on paper, but it gets the meat". As a "jungle" gun it should be great. My dads probably grouped 3 MOA on a good day. Very fast for...

180 gr Berger VLD hunting at 2900 fps. I've used it for years in my 7 SAUM and taken perhaps 50 animals with it. A 7 Mag or PRC will get the same or similar velocity. Mostly one shot kills. That includes 3 eland so its not "too" soft for a leopard. My last Sable was a 1 shot kill as was my...

From Wyoming last night.

I was born on grandma’s couch so a couple of days later dad bought a 870 wing master with the $ saved with no hospital visit. Mom wasn’t impressed. Earlier model than this one. Great guns. Bruce

Looks like fun. Good job! Bruce

I have hunted Kyrg a couple of times. Any mature Ibex is a beautiful trophy. When you get him home on the wall 98% of the people that see him have no clue it isn't a big one. Thanks for the pics. Bruce

I enjoyed hunting there a few yrs ago. You did very well. Congrats Bruce

Now that worked out perfectly. Much of it due the proper precautions. Congrats and well done! Bruce

Talk to Tsala safaris. Family owned and operated. Good people that will take good care of you at a reasonable price. Plenty of hunt reports on here about them. Bruce

Great to know the background. Eagerly awaiting the rest of the story. Bruce

Narrow, but tall with excellent mass. I'd bet closer to 160. Bet it's an older deer and starting to go downhill on it's rack size too. Great buck to take. Bruce

Looks like you had a great time. Congrats. Would be nice to have some rifle/ammo info as well a little about the stalks. Bruce

Nice shooting and I will be interested to see the improvements from the protein down the road. Bruce

Perhaps give us a few more details about what you have booked. What country? What outfitter? What concession? Tuskless? Trophy bull? Much of southern Africa, where you elephant hunt, is starting to get warm in Oct. Often drives the animals to known water holes. Quite frankly you probably...
