SOUTH AFRICA: Paw Print Safaris & Me Hunt 2016

Awesome bull! You are having a heck of a hunt my friend!
 
Great Waterbuck Sir!!
 
Shot your last 300 WM bullet??? AMMO!!!!!

At least you have those incredible, clear blue skies to look at! Weather looks spectacular.

Safaris, or at least the shooting part of a safari, usually end when one of three things occur:

1. The hunter runs out of ammo :W A Bullets:

2. The hunter runs out of money :(

3. Its time to go home :P Pilot:

All 3 are sad events.
 
Well tomorrow I will break out the 416 Ruger Guide Gun! Still have about 35 rounds for it!
 
Your taxidermist is gonna love you!
 
Charlie, based your experience do I need to bring 6 boxes of ammo for my rifle or just the three you originally recommended. I hope your taxidermist doesn't charge by the hole.

Congrats buddy, great Waterbuck
 
Charlie thats one awesome waterbuck. What else do you have left to harvest?
 
Great waterbuck! The most 'regal' looking of all the antelope I think. And contrary to popular opinion, if you skin them carefully, they are good eating!

I am with Ruger Fan - running out of ammo???!!! Good think the other rifle isn't a Lott!
 
Clayton my Taxidermy guy is Mike Smith from Capricorn Taxidermy and he has already made one trip to pick up goodies!
 
Art you are a better shot than me so I would strike with the three boxes! I had one bad day shooting that burned up a box!

Charlie,
Another great trophy, that's a beautiful Waterbuck. Looking forward to seeing what else you have in store for us.
Mike
 
Well it's off to look for Giraffe this morning! My last day hunting in Africa!
 
Hope you get a good one Charlie best of luck.

And the Ruger 416 Guide Gun did it's job again on Giraffe! Hornady DGX 400 grain found both lungs and came to rest just under the skin on the far shoulder!

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
