My advice for baboons is be patient! 99% of the time you get the big cocky male that struts out last. With a serious attitude. I only shot 5 this holiday but we have a thousand more. The one of me holding that large male upside down is proof of my theory. I actually shot him off the back porch while I was having my morning coffee, hence the slippers!!
My wife told me later she laughed as I came tearing through the lounge in just my slippers and shorts with a rifle screaming "The B****s are in the veggie garden!"
You know its incredible @BRICKBURN you can drive past the baboons 20 times and they wont run away, you fetch your rifle and hide it under the seat of the bakkie....you won't get within 100 metres of them before they start running for the mountains. That's why I enjoy baboons, they are incredibly smart.
p.s. My border collie is actually useless and in no way participates in the hunt.
