Welcome aboard Cal, based on your intro you are "gonna" fit right in with this bunch. What kind and caliber rifles do you own? Any previous hunts you'd like to share with us?

Hi Phil. I live really close to Nottingham Road! My local shooting range is just outside of the town. It is a lovely area. What were you hunting? And with who?

Thanks! I'm sure I will!
My go to plains game rifle is a .300 Win Mag made by Sako. Lovely wooden stock and mounted a Zeiss victory 3-12 on it. My newest addition is a .404 Jeffery made by Heym. Our lengthy licensing procedure is testing my patience, it arrived in the country in January and I still haven't even seen it. Cannot wait to get my hands on it! On previous buff hunts I have used .375 H&H and .416 Rem Mag.
I will put some pen to paper (finger to keyboard) and load some pictures of previous memorable hunts when I have some time to do it properly. Busy on the farm at the moment!

See my signature for who I was hunting with. Jacques @JKO Hunting Safaris has access to a number of properties. Who exactly had what, I don't know. But we hunted Vaal Rhebok, Common Reedbuck and Bushbuck in that area. We hunted on low fence private farms. The Common Reedbuck was somewhat similar to whitetail hunting here, they both like corn.

I hunted elephant with Luke Samaris in 2005. It was my fourth safari and I tell you he is a fine gentleman the best. I got the opportunity to meet Patty Curtis, although never hunted with him but enjoyed our conversation around our tent in the Selous. Very sad for a tough guy to leave this world the way he did. Let’s pray the murderers are caught. I hope to see Luke in Nashville.
