I also have your experience taking game in Africa. All with Swift A Frames and Barnes Monos. When a bullet penetrates to the off shoulder on Cape Buffalo in a perfect Mushroom then you have your answer.Are their bullets that “Perform better” I’m sure there are. Having confidence in your kit is a...

Push feed for plains game! CRF for Dangerous game.Upside down or right side up try chambering a round while your running for your life, I worked for Remington and love the 700. I use a Model 70 for dangerous game.

Problem there is you cannot trust the media anymore. Real shame!

I know nothing about that area but go up to Zimbabwe in the Zambezi valley. Wild country great hunting.

If your contemplating either one of these countries and it’s only a matter of deciding which one. Bravo! Enjoy!

Arnie, That is some good shooting and some very nice animals!

TX hunter. You must already have some nice Kudu. I have taken a few but that guy. Wow

I read the report on hunting ethics and perceptions there of. Does this photo from Europe come across as horrible cruel and narcissistic? People do appalling things all the time. The guy who ran over the wolf and brought it into a bar with his muzzle tapedshould be drawn and quartered. Calling...

The resolution on European glass is unmatched.Chances are you might never need the toughness of a NightForce.Binos there is no debate. Leica,Swarovski and Zeiss are the best.

Love it in the 416 Rem Mag!

Hey Rich, Lived in the Pinery for quite some time. Good to see a show like that at the Gaylord. I hear downtown Denver is a real delight.

I lived in Zimbabwe before land reform and loved it. This was in the early 90’s.I read some of Kevin’s reports and it brings back great memories.I would also take note of his advice. I found out I’m an American who lives in Arizona. I travel and hunt extensively. I like to carry a firearm for...

You have lots of options now. I used the 400 gr. Swift A-Frame for the first shot followed by two Barnes Monolithic Solids. Worked well. I would also use the Hornady DGX.

My First thought was a Nyala is an animal I would always shoulder mount. I saw the pic and it does look cool for your second Nyala!

II believe that a 375 dies it all. i always likes a M70 Safarigrade in 416 Rem Mag and M700 300 win mag. Just feels right.

I really like the taste of the 50-75 pound variety. These were south of Houston. Not a lot of meat on the ribs but delicious. Making it a point to hunt them more often!

416 Rem Mag

Buffalo! Enjoy!!!!

26 Namibia. Every decade since. Some multiple times. I’m now 62

Very nice. Your work is excellent!

30-06 or 270 is just fine but I still use a 300 Win. Mag.It just feel better to me.

My two cents. If you have a taxidermist down there you trust do it. If not ship it home. I just like the tanning better here!

Douglas, if I hunt in Zambia and then South Africa can I have my Taxidermy done by you and shipped to me in the states in one shipment? Thank you !

That really is a bad deal. I had the same thing happen but refused to let it ruin Africa for me. It is a buyer beware situation. I’m a heavy reference guy but that’s not foolproof. An agent at least gives you someone to speak with or air your grievances.

Are you signing a contract and getting a receipt for your payments. This is not failsafe but if an outfitter won’t provide a contract I’m out. Been there done that.Booking agents can be invaluable.

I was working for Remington when the 416 came Out. I shot my first buff with the Remington M700. No problem. I shifted to the M/70 Safari Grade and never looked back. I would use a 700 for everything but Dangerous game.

They get challenged in the Military! Last time I saw you don’t fight off a bench.

That last one does it for me. Look no further. Thanks for posting.

Very nice. You have a little bit of everything! Merry Christmas!

Crusader safaris or any number of outfitters in Kwa-Zulu Natal.

Great report. I used to fly over the swamps with a Christian missionary from Zim. The herds of Buffalo and waterbuck standing in water up to their backs was always a sight. Just a little stewardship and Africa blooms. Fantastic. I love reading about all you hunters going there and having success!

Leupold makes a good scope.Until you watch a NightForce being put together.

If you get 7k grab it and run!

I have done Alaska a couple of times. Love it nothing like it! Yukon twice again love it. Both are pretty expensiv. Go to New Foundland. 120,000 Moose. Might get lucky and get a 50 plus but something 40 plus more likely. I have never done it but am looking for a less expensive option as well.

We used to carry a barrel with a salt mixture in it. Hunting Sable their hair slips fast. If we were too far from camp which where you were hunting is everyday. You just caped it out on the spot and threw it in the barrel.

Tell him to send you the gun and then tell him you will pay for it once you see it. Crickets!!!!!

Sometimes a barrel of brine is very handy. Just take a break and skin it. Good to go.

We were shooting for a museum in Canada. So a family of Giraffe was on order. The nyama from the youngest was the best. Day in day out Eland is hard to beat. I like it all even Ele but harder to chew.I saw the Ox tail comments and I wholeheartedly agree. Very nice!

I see this thread has just re opened. I always thought I might be able to fly over from Alaska to the Kamchatka Peninsula . Like 3 1/2 hours if I remember correctly. What an adventure! You know what Alaska is a great adventure too.Trying to “sneak” into Russia and hunt is just not worth it. My...

It look like it was cooked too long. My son would be shooting cows!!!

Your trophies look really good!! Nice job!!

How did your hunt go?

I always go back to the toughest on an African hunt.No sacrificing resolution or eye relief. NightForce NX-8 1-8. Illuminated!I have only killed two Leopards but have set up a lot of blinds. 300 Win mag!

I have done a few night hunts. Not for everyone but for all out excitement hard to beat. That price is something else.

hear!!

Old Nuclear base before Apartheid was ended. Walvis bay.

Could I ask about your hunt in Botswana and maybe a pic or two!When I lived in Zim,I loved crossing the boarder to Francistown. I can’t remember the name of the place but I loved the Cheese Grillers.Food was tough to come by in Zim.

Headed there also. In 2024. Can’t wait to here your report!!!

NightForce Nx-8 1-8.

If you are some time till going,start putting in for New Mexico.Tough draw but if you’re lucky 3-4 k. Shorter flight too!
