SOUTH AFRICA: Family Hunt In The Kalahari With JKO HUNTING SAFARIS

Great report! You and your family had an awesome safari!
 
Great report @Inline6, congrats to the whole family!
 
Thanks gents!

It was a great experience all the way around. We will definitely have memories that will last a lifetime.

A good friend of mine asked me what was the most memorable hunt. While they were all special. He was surprised by my answer. He said "tell me it was the lion". My response was "no". "It was my 11 year old son shooting a freaking giraffe in the shoulder with a 6.5CM and watching it hit the ground in 45 seconds with one shot". G and I spent a lot of time in the backyard shooting. He did great (everyone did), it is very rewarding when you see hard work payoff.
 
Outstanding and the family aspect made it even sweeter. Well done. 6.5 cm giraffe. Who woulda thunk?
 
Congrats on a great time with your family on safari. Those are some awesome animals to remember it by. Thanks for taking the time to share the story and pictures with us.
 
Great family safari report. The memories made on that hunt will be remembered forever.
 
Great writeup. It’s so fun to hunt with family.
 
Great lion! Really like the detail of the story
 
Great report! Riding around in the cruiser with my whole family was one of the best parts of my first safari.
 
Great hunt, congrats !
 
Congratulations on your lion and your family safari. I shot a lioness in the Kalahari, and it was an amazing experience too. Thank you for taking us along and sharing your experience. (y) (y)
 
Congrats and thanks for sharing!
 
All lot of people on this site have written some great reports. I always enjoyed reading someone else experience. Just trying to give a little back to the community that I have been fortunate enough to learn from.

Reading a few of the comments about details. I'll share my hack, everytime I go my body has a had time adjusting to the time difference. When I wake up early (3am). I start writing while all the details are fresh in my mind. Even if it is a short list, something that captures the most important things. You have the ability to fill in the rest of the story from that. I do my best to write down something everyday.

Even if you keep the writings for yourself. It will help you recount your experience and emotions that much better years down the road. With our phones today, you can speak into them and they will write everything down.

Just food for thought.
 
Thnx for sharing mate. Glad you had a great time
Ahmad

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris
