SOUTH AFRICA: RIFLE: BOWHUNT: Safari With Limcroma Safaris

Spot and stalk in the afternoon. Thought this would take the rest of the safari

Very impressive! Congrats on the red hartebeest. I can personally attest that they are one of the most difficult plainsgame animals to spot & stalk! Way to go!
 
Very Nice animals. Especially the Nyala. Great shape and bonus to get with the stick and string. Oryx and waterbuck look very good as well! What did you get the Eland with?
 
Love the mass on the red hartebeest! The blue wildebeest has a lot of character. Congrats!

Decided to walk and stalk tonight for warthog but could not pass up this impala
 
What fun you must be having! Great group of trophies.

My thoughts exactly! All are great animals, but that red hartebeest stalking with a bow is quite an accomplishment all in itself!

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.:)

This compares favorably to 7 Rem Mag. with less powder & recoil.

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.
