Plains game or dangerous?

Welcome! Planning an African hunt? Lots of advice and great stories here, so enjoy! ;)

I was in a similar situation last year. I was scheduled for a plains game hunt, with a Cape Buffalo for the following year. Now I have scrubbed the PG and am planning my Buff hunt instead with a couple PG species as a bonus. That is happening in 2012. I was limited on choice by funds, and...

I am planning on Cape Buffalo in 2012. My PH and I are still negotiating location and so on, but definately Cape Buffalo. I have had and been shooting my Ruger Hawkeye African in .375 Ruger for many months now, and reading about hunting these animals for a long time. I recently read a post...

Welcome to AH! I am going to Namibia in Sept. of '11, and had to get a rifle myself. I went with the Ruger Hawkeye African in .375 Ruger and added a Nikon Bushmaster scope. The whole package came in under $1400.00 out the door. This is my first Ruger rifle, and so far I love the gun! Hits...

Welcome!

Welcome to AH Brodie! Where are you in West Texas? I am from Odessa area, Gardendale, and like to see others in this area here. Welcome!

Haven't done any hunting in many years now due to work, doing a year overseas as part of Enduring Freedom, and more work mixed with various schools. I booked this trip to Africa and had put all my thought towards that for the past few months. I would be open to a hunt as money permitted...

Thanks Christophe and everyone else for the reply. After hearing back from you all that have taken one, I feel more informed. I figured that the .375 slinging the softs was ok, then read about muliple shots required from some other stout rifles such as the .300 mags' etc, I started to...

That is the nicest one I have seen a pic of for sure! I love the horns color, shape, and length. I can only hope for one like that. Great animal.
