SOUTH AFRICA: Lion Hunt In South Africa With Umlilo Safaris

Nice write-up. Nice lion! Good luck with the garbage.
 
Although the 9.3 x 62 and the 9.3 x 74R are more than capable of the task, neither meet the minimum for DG which with our current legislation is 375 H&H Magnum.

Nobody will check to be quite honest, however if something goes wrong and somebody gets killed for example, issues may arise if a less than minimum required caliber by law was used.

Shouldn't the PH insist that all clients comply with the regulations? That's what I want my PH to do.........keep everything safe and legal.

Sure is a nice lion and good hunting report, thx for sharing.

Not sure what garbage you are refering to though?

George's wife noted he could hear whispered complex directions to get on the lion, but could not hear her repeated requests to take out the garbage. I do not think he will be able to say, "Sorry, dear, I did not hear you." next time she asks.
 
Very well told story..and congrats on the lion!

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.:)

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.
