Looks like my buddy talked me into another trip last 2 were archery hunts in South Africa. This time the real deal for Dangerous game in Zimbabwe!
I still plan to bring a bow to hopefully get a leopard which will be the primary target.
Secondary will be Elephant which I plan to use my rifle- a 375 Ruger.
Cape buffalo will also be considered with a rifle.
bait will have to be shot for the leopard hunt, impala or zebra most common.
So I was thinking of bringing a second rifle - a Ruger M77 in 9.3x62 as backup (maybe on buff?)….Or for other opportunistic plains game- eland, kudu etc..
Or I could bring the 375, and a smaller caliber- I have many options - 300, 7mm, 6.5mm, .243, for the plains game?
which 2 rifles would you bring?
