And the long trek begins

[lcq]

Really looking forward to pictures and a report. Are using the GS Customs?

In the Atlanta departure lounge after re-clearing my gun with TSA. I suppose the CBP clearing it in Montreal wasn't enough. And again through security.

I'm using factory Remington 160 swift a-frames. Since they are going to be forgotten at the camp . I brought the 7mm just in case they lose my luggage because there is no 300wsm in SA.

Good luck. I leave for Namibia two weeks today. This forum has been of incredible assistance to so many hunters. I look forward to your report and some photos!

Great start ... that îs a smoking big impala! Awesome that you have a good enough connection to share your photos and stories with all of us who are living through your experiences. Maybe you can get a little sleep tonight!!!!!

 

[CAustin]

Good start to your hunt. I agree with Scott that's a great impala!

 

[lcq]

Well I'll never say anything bad about Remington ammo. It was through and through on the zebra, the PH was surprised.

Since I have some time Scott was kind enough to let me watch a kudu roundup. It was an experience I'll never forget, like calf roping at the Calgary stampeded.

Bushbuck make hunting deer look like Childs play and we lost light on a very old and large wildebeest. He didn't get old by being stupid.

Off again


BTW Brick it is hotter than a whores heart on payday till about 3:30

We My PH is certainly putting me on some quality animals. 12.5" bushbuck. Must have walked over 25km to finally get him.

I know what you mean. Until you acclimatize you will feel like you are in an oven.
Was hiking in 22C yesterday and was shocked at how hot it felt. Africans will still be shivering...

 

[lcq]

Doing lots of walking and climbing. Pig down but that old arrogant wildebeest keeps giving us the slip. He didn't get old by being stupid.

 

[BRICKBURN]

Those are the fun ones.
