Great report thanks for the details. That would be a heck of a destination for a first time Safari goer! Congrats on the bulls and the Jacksons. Uganda is on my short list.
I started out with a 410 but yes was very limited on sucess with it, once I got a 28 it was a game changer Pheasants and turkeys were in trouble. Do you know what the lenght is that your looking for?
Chago,
I'll give you the less bou·jee answer.
I like to run and work out extensively and as much as id like a Rolex and Richard Millie I also like to hunt to much to spend a safari for my wrist. So rock the Garmin fēnix® 7X – Sapphire.
It tracks all the metrics I like to look at for the day...
Man great question.
I’m not a huge fan of the ranking system and I will answer your last question first there hasn’t been a species I’ve enjoyed less, only outfitters and how they hunt them. I think how the hunt is done and how the details are taken care of can affect any hunt and make that...
This is a great post and I will agree find a broker or a better broker next time.
I use the ladies and D&L and they have been incredible for me over the years. I've sent two buddies to Africa that didn’t listen to my advice about a broker and both of them tried to just do it themselves have it...
What an incredible Lord Derby, huge congrats is in order.
Thanks for the very detailed report I enjoyed reading it. I’ve done the Bongo with Mayo but I’ve had to move two LD trips so this makes me partly sick, and partly excited for when it does happen.
Hakan is a great guy, I have been on...
Have done both and will say 100% go for the buffalo it’s a much better African experience especially if you’re looking to make it your first hunt.
A true tracking buffalo hunt might be the greatest hunt on earth for its cost to value wise. Dry land hippo won’t be much tracking, sure you might...
Great question and I’ve read lots of great answers listed above. I'm in the same boat as many, the truck deal is 100% up to you IF it is legal where you will be hunting. There are a good number of species such as the night critters and smaller predators that will be truck hunts.
So think of how...
Very cool! I'm excited to follow along as you share the build. Question for you how big are you building this to be? would like to know more details at some point.
Thanks for sharing.
Agree pretty spot on really. Though some of the stages I think people tend to make "sexy" such as the meat hunting stage and the stage where the equipment used is overly ranked now this is just my own opinion but these stages when pronouced at a such a high level through social media and youtube...
My passionate started early I was born in February and that October I was at hunting camp. From then on its been nothing but a roller coaster for me. When I was little I would take my toy guns outside set up deer and skulls and act as if I was hunting them, then once I had a BB gun I would shoot...
My names McKenzie Sims, currently living in Evanston Wyoming. I love hunting it’s been a true passion of mine since I was born. I’ve been extremely fortunate to have experienced a lot of the world hunting, I’ve done over 30 international trips with 16 of them being Safaris in Africa from the...
first off great chocie in ammo, I'm a big beliver in Barnes bullets.
For this hunt I would honestly just take the one rifling being the 416 no need to take both a 375 and a 416 or the 9.3x62 anda 416 they all work very similar now I know some data shows diffrent on paper but for the list of...
In April of 2022 I headed out in search of an adventure that had been calling me since the early 2000's when I first started dreaming of Africa.
That adventure was for the elusive Bongo. One of the first African species I can ever remember seeing in photographs was the Bongo and I instantly...
Kudu work well in a variety of mounts from Euro's to life size, have seen mutlipe of the lower based pedistal mounts on here and I second that beacuse you can always move them to fit where you want them, they can fit in a corner and will be eye level with you. I have two Kudu shoulder mounts but...
375 is the best all around Safari rifle from the bigest to the smallest of game, but if your going to be in an area where the shots on the plains game tend to be further 250+ I would take the 308 as well you never know when that dream kudu might step out at 400 yards across a canyon.
Good luck...
I bet you had a great trip to Zambia!
Now touching base on your question not all of South Africa is high fenced there is lots of low fenced cattle and sheep farm country that a guy can hunt lots of great options in the Eastern Cape and KwaZulu Natal area both areas hold some key species in...
This is 100% true it helps clear the are of death and will hopfully not be alarming to other Elphants they are very smart animals. This has been a common practice for many years. I wish we knew more detail on if the meat was actually utilized.
30-06 and 308 both worked great for me during my younger years being great.
The 30-06 is a rigby its heavier but the 308 is a kimber a great off the shelf flat shooting rifle very little weight and very little recoil di numerouse hunts with mine around the world.
