Glad you're getting the much needed rain!
 
Hope you get a lot more.
 
At least you have a decent start.

Well it's that time of the year again when give the staff some meat ,as it's coming up to Christmas and I head back to lusaka around 16th or so....had a think and it was let's go with the.... in americanese the thutty thutty I believe... :A Thumbs Up: ...my little 1894 16 inch carbine . Now as have only bout 30 rounds for it as appears non in zambia I have been keeping it on the back burner so to speak...but thought way it handles be good for warthogs on the run, as 97% of time here they gap it even when you 2 to 300 yards away....so off we went ...tap on roof and Ernest said pig up front...I couldn't see as grass is growing a bit and leaves out on bushes etc....so took it out of the gun bag and off we went....luckily the wind was good and with a nice big termite mound we closed up...but when got around it nothing...then in front a distance away in the trees and bushes Ernest pointed....I could see it but was partially covered by smalk tree trunks and bushes...moved one way as it was looking...then back as it moved slightly..then it started to run so it was now or never....managed to get the sights on it for a second and fired....was about 60 to 70 yards and it was on the move....straight down...as we walked up stopped kicking a minute or so after....was impressed with the little rifle....

Just need someone to come do a hunt with a 30-30 and a 45-70 so can get some ammunition....hint hint...:E Big Grin:
 
The 'ol 94 got it done, well done Mike.
 
@spike.t as a matter of fact, I too was out shooting my 30-30 today. Just off hand shooting 20-50 yards. Getting ready for mountain lion in about a month. I have a few boxes of once fired brass that I need to reload some day.

Had some heavy rain in last month.....other day equalled the total for last year...which isn't saying much in reality, as last year was crap....dam has a bit in now so better than the last photos of it bone dry....river on other side of dam wall has reached to centre of wall at bottom....probably touching for 40 feet....needs to come up another 8 feet min to come in spillways though....only way it fills properly....

What a great way to kick off our 2025 hunting season in South Africa.

This beautiful Impala ram was taken at just over 300 yards, took a few steps and toppled over.

We are looking forward to the next week and a half of hunting with our first client of the year.

Do you have any more copies of African Dangerous Game Cartridges, Author: Pierre van der Walt ? I'm looking for one. Thanks for any information, John [redacted]
