I have a couple more pictures. I am not in the same league as a lot of you guys. I just like these pictures I am sharing and hope others will get some enjoyment from them also. If I get lucky then good for me. Who wouldn't want a free hunt?
Great idea for a thread sir! Thanks for keeping the blood of Africa pumping thru my veins. Wifey said maybe late next year we can get back there together.
Here's an old truck in a cow pasture that I hunt Mule deer in.
A young giraffe that we didn't know was around until momma put the run on another guy from our group that was stalking a warthog.
This fella was a fair size and DID NOT like his picture being taken. About 2 seconds after this shot he was chasing me away. Who knew they moved that fast?

Justin,
I posted a poto on this site for the contest but now find that it has been removed or I can't find. It's not on the page were it was entered. Just wondering what went wrong.
James
I can only see your gallery photos. I can't see anything in this thread.
Please try again; drag and drop it into another post.
Sent a PM.
If anyone has a technical questions about the site please ask me or Jerome and we will try to get you over the hump.

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.

2,822fps, ES 8.2
This compares favorably to 7 Rem Mag. with less powder & recoil.

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.
