    Some questions on a plains game rifle

    that's just what I am thinking.......I was actually on line looking at them. We have a couple store about an hour away and my plan is to run over and take a look. Those guys will let you take them outside the store (with supervision) and trial them on something that's 3-400 yards distant...

    Need Help Traveling To Or Through South Africa With Your Guns?

    HUNTING Wildebeest

    yep....you were right. Got mine in Free State at 204 yards. pulling "the right one" out of a herd of 60 animals is only a job for a PH's eyes. I think I got a pretty good one, but I'm already anxious to go back and tackle them again and I've only been back from RSA a week!!

    Some questions on a plains game rifle

    You're right.......up in Limpopo we were at 80-140 yards all the time. Wasn't until we went down to Free State that I had to reach out to the 300+ range to get on a good Black Wildebeast and Blesbok.

    Some questions on a plains game rifle

    That's the same scope I just used on my first safari that I just came back from last Friday. At 200 yards I was right on, but at 300+, My sight picture (at least with my 60 year old eyes) just wasn't clear enough for me to "pick a spot" as well as I would like. I'm wondering if going to a...

    Christophe........would you have the time to take a look at the thread I just started in this "Hunting Africa" Forum Section about commenting on hunting Gerenuk and comment on it and the other question that someone else just had in that same thread? Appreciate your time and comments.

    Need advice or just comments on hunting Gerenuk.....

    I am currently searching for outfitters to go hunting for Gerenuk and seems like most are in Tanzania.....are there other options / locations to consider? At least on the few websites that I have viewed......Gerenuk aren't available unless you are going to book a 16 or 21 day safari. Can a...

    First time safari to South Africa

    I recently attended an SCI banquet and purchased a safari package for my son and I.......it included a lot, but not hide treatment and shipping of trophies back to U.S. Strictly as a budgetary planning exercise, can some folks give me an idea of what price of this service ends up costing if...
