Just like the title says: Where are all of these animals truly indigenous? I’m talking down to specific provinces and areas. Also, where would you hunt each right now? Feel free to only list one, a few or all these species. Or, add more. Thanks! 1. Nyala 2. Cape Bushbuck 3. Limpopo Bushbuck...

The .338 Federal will throw a 250 grain Nosler Partition or Swift A-Frame at 2300-2400 fps. It’ll easily launch the 225 grain versions of those bullets at 2500 fps. It can also light up the 160 grain Barnes TTSX at 3,000 fps. Should we think of it as a modern, short-action .318 Westley...

Do any of you commonly take two of the same game animal on one safari? If so, do you do this because maybe you took a 37” Gemsbok the first day then came across a 41” Gemsbok on day 8? Do you ever plan on taking two of the same animals? I really think I want to have a combo mount of two Impala...

Im really wanting to take a small antelope or two in Africa, but without breaking the bank. Out of: Grey Duiker Mountain Reedbuck Steenbok Which have you all preferred to hunt and why? What’s the “must have” of the three? Which do you covet most? Which makes the classiest trophy? Craig...

I’m planning to take my 6.5 Creedmoor to Southern Africa for Plains Game. Nothing larger than Kudu, mind you, and nothing tough than Zebra. I know it will do the job if I do make me. But bullets. Mine likes almost everything but it REALLY likes the new 142 grain Nosler AccuBond Long Range...

You win a 5-day trophy hunt, all expenses paid including travel, to hunt three animals in Africa. One is Impala (because this is my thread and I think Impala are beautiful), one is plains Zebra and the other is Wildebeest. You are not allowed to take anything else. The only kicker is, the...

Just wondering what your top 10 trophy list would be for a first-timer to Namibia or RSA. Trophy fees in Africa have gone up immensely in the last few years and I can go on several guided USA elk hunts for the price of an even modest safari, so please keep fees at the top of mind. Perhaps...

Other threads about hunting Bushbuck and Vaal Rhebok got me to thinking about other smaller, less "glamorous" species that are, however, very worthy trophies. I like the looks of the Common Reedbuck and it is fairly high on my wish list. So....I'm looking to find out about hunting these shy...

So....I'm looking to find out about hunting Vaal Rhebuck (or Rhebok). These small antelope seem like interesting animals that aren't exactly easy to bring to bag. Where is a good place to go if a guy wants to hunt Vaal Rhebok? What are the common hunting methods? What are the shot distances...

I know there are lots of threads about which animals a first timer should consider and the requisite advice that goes along with those recommendations. When I heed the advice given by those with experience, I've always felt the most important nugget I've gleaned is that you need to pick an...

I love impala and springbok. They are two of the trophies I'll be most excited about hunting when I make my first trip to Africa. I'm hoping those with experience can tell me where they would go if they wanted to find truly impressive impala and common springbok rams. Hopefully, it would...

I'm in the early stages of planning my first safari for plains game. My primary quarry will be a good impala and a good kudu (doesn't everyone want a good kudu bull?), and perhaps a nice gemsbok. I'd also be very interested in springbok and warthog, a zebra if a good one presented itself, and...

I'm in the early stages of planning my first safari, and am wondering if a new rifle needs to be part of those plans. The hunt will most likely be in Namibia for gemsbok, kudu, impala, springbok and warthog with zebra a good possibility. Maybe another small antelope or two, as well. I have a...

Hello to all. What a great site! I'm new here and in the process of collecting data and researching outfitters for my first African safari. I'm a lifelong hunter here in North America and I've hunted deer (whitetail, blacktail and mule deer), elk, black bear, hogs and pronghorn on several...
