Your lucky you had enough fun- could have been all over had they charged you !

Just took a nice bull 2 weeks ago, just north of Raymondville. Used a 30.06 with a Barnes 180 gr. bullet. 87 yd. broadside shot and got a pass through. Travelled 31 yds and dropped. Shot placement is the key. Same aim point as African plains game.

I think I read in a Boddington book ~ 1 animal per 1 1/2 days. I have found this to be true bow hunting.

Wishing you a safe and successful adventure. Take plenty of pictures and send a post card !

There are nice shops in the airport that would probably satisfy your needs. Also your outfitter would probably know some nice roadside shop traveling to and from your hunting concession. I don’t advise traveling around J’burg - it’s a dangerous place. I would land and get to bush as soon as...

I killed a nice nyala 20minutes into the first day of a hunt. Outfitter told me if I had patience there was a nice bushbuck in the area. About 2:30 that afternoon this buck and a doe came into my waterhole. He presented me with a broadside shot and it was over.

The second bull would be more interesting to talk with sitting around the camp fire !

This thread reminds me of Socrates advice- “ In Ancient Greece, Socrates had a great reputation for wisdom. One day, someone came to find the great philosopher and said to him: "Do you know what I just heard about your friend?" "A moment," replied Socrates. "Before you tell me, I would like...

30.06 with a Swift A-Frame bullet will get the job done. When the adrenaline kicks in (which it will) recoil will not be an issue.

Take more money with you- you ain't gonna just shoot warthogs and impalas !!
