35 Whelen - Best Option for Eland Huntress?

Me and @35bore have a long understanding that I am correct when it comes to the discussion of these two calibres .....;):D:D Beers:........I will now wait
It's all in what you like brother. Lol.

Yes, many discussions on the topic. I still remember one of your first post on this site. About modern firearms in old Africa, or something like that. I still feel the 35whelen would fit good in my hands to take down anything that I needed too on that journey. May not be the best for some, but i believe it would be sufficient. Same could be said about the 9.3 (I guess), point being, if you can do it then do it, if you can't then don't.

I gotta find that old thread, would be a nice revitalized topic.
 
Ya, couldn't find it spike.t, things only go back to 2018 in the archives on your page.. I'd still drink the place empty when I got to the opposite side of the continent. Lol....

Preparing for the adventure of a lifetime. Looking forward to my 2026 Africa hunt with Van Wijk Safaris in South Africa.

What a great way to kick off our 2025 hunting season in South Africa.

This beautiful Impala ram was taken at just over 300 yards, took a few steps and toppled over.

We are looking forward to the next week and a half of hunting with our first client of the year.

Do you have any more copies of African Dangerous Game Cartridges, Author: Pierre van der Walt ? I'm looking for one. Thanks for any information, John [redacted]
