Elephant hunting from 18 August

We're heading across in 17 more sleeps - but who's counting?

The plan us for elephant, brown hyena and spotted hyena and a few other species should we have the opportunity. Should be a great hunt nd a good break from the daiy grind.

Was out smashing a few pigs last weekend and blowing up milk bottles with my .450 Ackley Magnum. All good to go!

Good luck Daggaboy. I too am heading into the "home stretch". Leaving Aug 17th for Mozambique. It's amazing that at 57, I still feel like a kid counting down the days until Christmas eve! Look forward to your hunt report!

Milk bottles, an interesting approximation for a facsimile target. Creative.

In lieu of any megafauna in the paddocks I roam, I hung milk bottles in trees with a great big mountain for a backstop. It was the only thing I could think to do to get myself shooting up at targets! No misses! All we have to do now is find an elephant hanging out if a baobab or a sausage tree and I should be right...

Guys,

Spent Saturday at the bench assembling ammo for the .450 Ackley and the .300 Weatherby. Had to pick up a few last minute items and with ten days to go, all the paperwork is done and all we need to do is pack!

Thats alot of bullet right there, glad Im not an Elephant! Good luck Im sure you are getting more psyched up by the day!
