Yes, on guided hunts, in Africa, consequences of taking a risky shot are clear, most of the time. Unfortunately, in North America, when hunters are left to their own conscience, too many are not up to the challenge. That's why there is such a culture of entitlement around the subject.

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.
