I've done four safaris now and haven't shot anything out of a truck or blind. Not my cup of tea. But nothing against anyone else - it's your money, your hunting ethics, and your story to tell. Just be resolute in how you wish to hunt and clear in your communication.
This Red stag was a heart shot, complete bang-flop at 270m. Dead in his tracks. Not a mark on him externally, but massive internal damage from the 135gn Atomic 29 copper bullet in my 7mmRM.
I put it down to the heart being empty or full when hit, as of course most heart shots will run a bit...
They most certainly have, thank you. Although I'm yet to venture back to Namibia. One day, perhaps.
I am glad you had a much better experience and are happy with the results. Good hunting.
I reload for everything, including the DG hunts I've done. I'm pretty cautious anyhow with a good system of checks, but will admit I go to a few extra lengths with DG loads to ensure consistency.
Cheers mate. If you follow to the end of that thread, you'll see photos of a much more recent batch of tanned capes. Unfortunately, nothing has improved from where I sit.
I cannot and will never recommend anybody to use their services.
As I mentioned in that thread, in Australia we have the...
Banteng for me. A special animal in a special place. But more people would probably say our Water Buffalo, or locals might say Sambar.
I'll also second the posters mentioning free-range Tahr, one of the most challenging hunts anywhere.
Love my Ruger 77 Mk. II .350RM. It wears a 2-7 Kahles scope in Warne mounts. Loaded with 225 or 250gn Woodleigh PP's, it's been great on camels, sambar, pigs and a range of smaller stuff.
Those were all late season hunts around September. So it's extremely hot & humid. Water has dried up to only permanent pools. It can be thirsty work, but a very rewarding time to hunt if you can hack it!
