Before my first African hunt , the only animals "off list" were primates. While we were in the Selous, a Masai woman's infant was snatch d and devoured by a troop of baboons (the baby was under a shady bush, just meters away from mother, who was harvesting yams. the only thing recovered was the...

I have a Browning BLR takedown in .300 WSM - I enjoy it greatly. Very versatile rifle and ammo is easily available. Never been a 7mm fan, My .30/06's can do mostly what a 7mm can. BTW - It appears that 7mm WSM's are sliding into obscurity.

For nilgai, check out the Armstrong Ranch (where Dick Cheyney shot his buddy); cow nilgai are a bargain and superb table fare. The Boot Ranch , owned by former rodeo star MAlcolm Callaway, has javelina (my wife & I killed 4 with 3 shots) and truly free range elk. Like yourself, we Really...

I have hunted on a large - 18,000 acres - fenced property in Namibia. My guide (not a PH) showed me several spots where cheethas had learned to run prey (springbok, young wildebeest) into the fence. I don't regard that as free range.

I see a smiliar post here from last February. I realize outfitters and fees can often change... I ' d appreciate booking information for a short hunt in January 2016. Thanks, Joe

Nice warthogs and a bonus bushpig! I've tried for them in both the Save & Bubye conservancies in Zim- not too common due to high lion predation. Coutada 9 in Moz (Mokore Safaris) has got some brute warthogs.

My wife & I (we've hunted several continents) have been to both. We now only attend DSC. We find DSC more inviting and affable overall (we were given free passes our first year, unsolicited, by a DSC volunteer). The overall differences between the two conventions are palpable.

Contact Neil Duckworth @of Mokore Safaris in Zimbabwe's Save Valley Conservancy. You'll see elephants, lions, rhinos, all free rangr & wild, during your hunt.

I hunted a few hours from Tete last year, no problema!

Talk to Peter @ Crusader Safaris, north of Port Elizabeth. He should have something for your budget.
