    Hornady GMX

    No I have not. I used Nosler Partitions in Africa and have decided to not fix what isn't broken. The Texas trip I referenced happened, but after getting my Rio with a shotgun I had fun killing varmints with a .22. I didn't even get to hogs after that. I still think that GMX bullets would work...

    Big Namibia leopard

    Gert van der Walt asked me to post this picture of one of his clients with a big leopard. This is the 30th leopard that Gert has guided hunters to. I don't have any details on the hunt, but it is a big cat. He is off hunting elephants right now, but said he would fill in the details when he returns.

    Muzzy and Rage to combine

    My thoughts exactly. I've used Muzzy for years because they work really, really well. I really hope they don't mess with them.

    Rifle as a Tip for PH

    Does anyone know about the Namibian regulations on giving a ph a rifle as a tip? I understand I would have to comply with the U.S. export regs.

    To the PHs and Outfitters on this forum, A Question?

    I think it is a great idea. I have several friends who would love to go hunt, but every time I mention it their wives freak out. I usually hear some combination of ebola, AIDS, revolution, kidnapping, dangerous animals/snakes/scorpions etc, cannibalism, sleeping sickness, malaria and the list...

    And I thought my 5-inch steenbok was big! Wow, that is a giant. It looks like a Vaal Rheebok.

    If I wasn't going on two guided hunts this year this one would never be advertised. I hunted the Tsiseb Conservancy back in 2007 and fell in love with it.

    Advice for a first timer to SA?

    I didn't understand just how mountainous the area in NW Namibia was before I went on my first hunt. It was a great hunt, but I wish I was in better shape so I could have enjoyed it even more. The good thing was that I was young (36) and had been working out a lot, but the workouts I did were...

    Prvi Partizan Ammunition and Gemsbok

    I've found it does not consistently group well in my rifles, but it is so cheap that I shoot it at the range and then reload the brass. On a positive side I have made some very accurate reloads with their brass in .243, .308, .270 and .30-06. By the way, Academy Sports uses Privi Partisan to...

    Would it be a problem taking a rifle with a stainless barrel to Africa?

    I'm taking a stainless Remington 700 in .300 RUM next year to Namibia, but it has a walnut stock. I just don't like to hunt with synthetics for some reason.

    Welcome! I love my .375 African. I'm sure you will as well. I've found mine shoots best with IMR 4350 about a grain off of max with 300 gr. Hornady rn. The .270 grain Hornady factory bullet is a little soft btw. Good luck on your next trip. Where are you going?

    243 Winchester for smaller plains game?

    The only time I wished for a smaller rifle in Namibia was when I saw a huge 5-inch steenbok (well, as huge as steenbok get LOL) and I had a .375 in my hand. Other than that I was always happy to have a little more rifle than I needed. Trophy fees are pretty expensive, and while watching trackers...

    Has anyone shot or gotten pictures of a 70inch kudu?

    There is a picture in one of the newer issues of Sports Afield of a 72 inch kudu. One horn is that long, but the other is smaller. It is impressive, but a bit freakish.

    Namibia muzzleloader hunt special $250 per day

    Ty, Thanks for the kind words. I would suggest May through August. The backpack hunt is more for the experience than the total bag. Obviously it will be smaller than a traditional truck based hunt. Gert uses porters (cool huh?) to move the camp more easily and to allow for proper care of the...

    On your first African hunting safari how many animals did you take?

    I took 6 - mtn. zebra, kudu, 2 springbok, gemsbok and steinbok. I really wish I had stayed and hunted longer. Of course, I'm going to fix that in 2013.
