SOUTH AFRICA: Father & Son Hunt With Monate 2017

[BRICKBURN]

Thanks for sharing your hunt with us Gert.

I trust that momentum ballast helps shooting the 404.

 

[Gert Odendaal]

Yes, Wayne, but even a hunter with fewer layers of fat around his body can shoot my 404 Jeffery accurately and not even feel recoil...

Straight question: Where does this throat slitting come from?

 

[Gert Odendaal]

Wayne, we learned this from our fathers when hunted with them as young boys. That was the first thing you as a hunter needed to do when you get to the animal you shot. I always remove the intestines as well after slitting the two large arteries on both sides of the neck...when the blood drained sufficiently I open up the animal and remove the intestines since if you leave it and the animal is loaded on the vehicle , driving around while the animal is lying on the back of the vehicle in the sun it started to get bloated..the gasses spoils the meat...I do slit all domesticated animals I shot and slaughter as well..from a cow to a pig and the sheep receive the same treatment...
