    SOUTH AFRICA: In pursuit Of The Tiny 10….

    I just returned from my first hunt dedicated to the tiny 10. In 2012 I shot my first of the group with a nice representative steenbok in the Limpopo valley. In 2021 I took a Damara Dik Dik while in pursuit of leopard in Namibia. The 375 h and h was a bit much for the Damara so I was only...

    soooo, I have shot my 7mm rem mag for the past 24 years, including two safaris and close to 200 white tail deer in SC and a couple of trips to Canada for bear and a moose (with a friend shooting the rifle).
