What Red Leg said! I did Namibia this year solo and had a great time. I've actually started doing most of my state-side hunts solo for similar reasons.
Curious ... I'm taking a bow with me to RSA in May. For others who have taken bows over there, do you take any kind of light weight padded case to protect it in the truck? Just carry it in your lap?
The plan is spot and stalk (no blinds / water holes) so I anticipate there will be some...
I used OnX in Namibia last year. Worked great. Downloaded the satellite imagery before I left. Was able to keep track off where we went, where I shot different animals etc. not necessary, but fun. @Opposite Pole is correct that you will not have topography or land ownership, but to me that...
Thanks for the feedback guys. Not planning to take a second rifle as I'll already have the bow and one rifle and it's not a dedicated tiny ten hunt -- I'm sure they will be targets of opportunity and I likely won't get the chance to swap rifles. I was originally thinking I would just keep 2-3...
I am new to these little guys with the exception of my one steenbuck, but my understanding was that 243 and 223 weren't good options because the bullets were going so fast (ca. 300 fps) that you got hydrostatic shock and blew the little guys up. Not correct?
I have been googling and have found...
Heading to Limpopo in May and hoping to put some smaller animals in the bag as part of the hunt. It's not a DG hunt, so I'm only taking my 300 win. Mostly, I'll run 200 grain a-frames.
When I was in Namibia last year my 300 with 185 bergers made a mess of my steenbuck. I was smart enough...
I took berger 185's to Namibia this year in my 300 win. It wasn't my first (or second, or third) choice, but it was the only bullet I could get to shoot well from the gun I had already committed to taking. I use Bergers a lot in the US, mostly on elk, and have been pleased with performance. I...
:A Popcorn:
Interesting thread. I switched to Valkyrie Jaggers this year. Will be using them this weekend in elk woods, in TX for hog hunting in Feb, then at Limcroma in May. They have been flying well for me with a 200gr head plus a 25gr insert up front. Very interested to see how they do...
