I wouldn't begin to have the patience or skill set to handload my own ammo, so for the most part I use factory ammo, sometimes I purchase ammo from online companies like Hendershot's, Superior and Pendleton Ammo. For this year's plains game hunt I took my .308. Federal Trophy Bonded Tipped...

I'm all about pushing the envelope and swimming upstream, but Zimbabwe in February, rains, heat, bugs and mosquitoes being prevalent, you just have to give this situation great pause. Perhaps all would go without incident, but the moment something goes south, you'll find you're in a real...

Superior Ammunition has done a great job loading ammo for me.

My hippo was mounted as a shoulder mount, it made a decent mount, but it is one of which I disposed of last year. There isn't a lot you can do with a shoulder mount on a hippo. What I do have, and what starts most conversations, is the hippo skull I have sitting in the corner. I had my croc...

You're definitely 'dressed for success' in this picture, and super great idea the way you staggered your ammo!

Wow, is that ever a beauty!! Congratulations, great purchase!!

Here are two things I have shared a number of times before: 1) On one particular hunt I asked the outfitter at the end of the hunt how much I should tip the staff. His response, "I have a staff of 35", I laid down some amount of money and said, 'you figure it out', and walked off. So no, you...

Congratulations to both you and your wife!! Wonderful trophies! May I ask who you hunted with?

Glad to have you here with the rest of us!! Like yourself, African hunts are very addictive! Any particular animal you most want to hunt on your next trip?

Wow, what a great hunt report, thank you for taking the time to type this out. As well, congratulations on some wonderful trophies!

@GAME 4 AFRICA SAFARIS is a wonderful place to hunt with great people! I'm glad you had a great trip, super awesome to have your mother along!

Either caliber would work well. One thought would be if you go the 6mm Creedmoor route, and you run into a bigger animal, you would have enough gun to take it.

Management bull, 2019, Matetsi area!

While it may have taken multiple trips to get certain animals, like the bongo, Lord Derby Eland is the only animal I failed to get that I really wanted.

I recently purchased a 416 Taylor, I just bought a box of 400 grain Woodleigh hydros from Lonnie Cribbs, Superior Ammunition. When I spoke to Lonnie on the phone he said he would load these to 2283fps. My first shot on this target is the low shot, the next shot is the high shot, shots 3 and 4...

Great gun, great scope, great ammo, whole lot of package here! GLWS

Welcome to AH!! Glad to have you here with the rest of us!

Welcome! Glad to have you here with the rest of us!

Perfectly penned, Rouan!! Having hunted with @TSALA HUNTING SAFARIS 2x before, I look forward to when I can return and hunt with them again!

My 9 year old great-nephew on youth day in Virginia last Saturday!

What color do they call this stock?

Let me clarify this, I had a follow-up appointment 4 weeks after cataract surgery with my surgeon. At that appointment I asked how soon until I could shoot my .375H&H, he said I could start shooting it right away. If I remember correctly I waited a few more weeks before I shot that bigger...

I waited 4 weeks before I got back to shooting my .375H&H

If you are flying from the US to JNB then to the EC, you will put your locked ammo box in your checked luggage in the US. When you arrive to JNB, you will collect your bags, there you take out your ammo box and it will fly to the EC as its own piece of luggage. The Pelican 1200 is perfect for...

No, I leave mine locked in my gun case in my room while out hunting.

Bump for the weekend!

Are you looking to fly coach, premium economy or business? For my flight to JNB last month I saved 1500.00 by adding one extra day. Next month to Bulawayo I am saving over 2000.00 by adding one extra day, these were on business fares. If you haven't tried, perhaps entering dates a day or two...

Without question, the best thing to do when a rhino is smashing your vehicle is to just sit there and take it all in!!

Yes, I use the Pelican 1200 for times as you are mentioning. If I am going to JNB only, I use a lightweight Plano box to save on weight.

Airlink will weigh your gun and ammo then charge you some amount of money to fly those 2 items to the Eastern Cape, they'll do the same when you return to JNB. Once back at JNB and you collect your bags, you will put your ammo case back in your checked luggage for the trip back to the US.

Welcome! Glad to have you here with the rest of us!

These were listed for 4 minutes before you pulled the trigger, what took you so long? lmao

I’ve taken 8 eland, 6 of which were males, then I took 2 females earlier this month on a management hunt. I did take a LDE hunt but was unsuccessful. Eland are pretty high up on my wish list on all of my hunts. The first 5 I took were with my .375H&H, the last 3 with my .308.

Given you are using a 458, I will guess you are doing a dangerous game hunt, if so, I'm a big fan of the Leupold Patrol, 1x6-24 with firedot. I think you'll still find them for 799.00.

If I am going on from JNB and my ammo has to go as its own luggage, I use the Pelican 1200. If I am just going to JNB, I use a very lightweight Plano box. Sure, it's not as tough as a Pelican, however, if your ammo is going to make the entire trip in your checked luggage, having a lighter box...

I have these exact binos, by far the best pair of binos I've ever owned!! Agree with @Mtn_Infantry, @Wildwillalaska is a great forum member, buy with confidence!

Thank you for taking the time to write up a nice hunt report to share with the rest of us! Congratulations on taking some very nice animals!

Beautiful rifle, looking forward to a range report!

Good luck on tonight's 'sit' @Rare Breed! I surely hope to see a picture of you and Mr. Spots later today!

I can’t help you with mounting ideas, but I do know a big mop of hair when I see it, very nice eland!!

This is from swishing just one of those little bastards that had gotten in my pants!

That’s a heck of a trophy you’re after, good luck!!
