During our stay at Moretla, there was a sick female Cape Buffalo that Tyron and Annemarie were caring for in the Boma.... Even with Vet help and tender loving care she did not make it, but it was a great attempt to bring her back to health..
HUNTIG IS MORE ABOUT WILDLIFE CONSERVATION THAN JUST...

My wife and I hunted with Tyron and Annemarie from @MORETLA SAFARIS for a 12 day hunt at end of June to 1st week in July 2022.
I had booked this hunt two years b4 but due to all the COVID restrictions from/To USA had to postpone the trip. Almost lost all the airfare I had booked with South...
These are all nice trophies above......Sable are one of the most majestic of the Antelope anywhere...
Here is one I shot in June of this year in Limpopo Province.. Horns measured 44"
One frontal shot at 224 Yds. Using my Griffin and Howe 30.06.
There is no Ground Shrinkage on these guys...
Heading to Limpopo SA , June 21 to July 3 with Moretla Safaries, main game= Cricodile, Sable, wart hog, wildebeest, gemsbok…some local leasure trips with my wife… our 3rd trip to SA.
New Stewart Edwad White custom stock (English Walnut) ... fitted but unfinished...(notice shadow cheekpiece...an improvement for me, & Schnabel Forend tip). I added a Pachmayr Decelerator recoil pad.
My M1903 Springfield showing completed Stock ..checkered, finished with Birchwood Casey hand Rubbed oil finish (30 Coats) and new Redfield 2x7 Revolution Scope on same G&H detachable mount and rings.
Hi,
Here are pictures of a classic Custom Griffin and Howe M1903 Springfield in caliber 30.06.. SN indicates the rifle was built in 1922 at the Springfield armory in Illinois . Back in the 20/30/40/50s a person belonging to the NRA could buy a surplus army issued weapon, have it shipped ( in...
Daga boy,
I agree with u that blue wildebeest are tuff. I shoot s 30.06 springfield and prefer that over a .308.. both are formidable calibers...
Shot placement is of prime importance!!!
Bob
Cam,
Well certainly you were shooting a formidable caliber and bullet combo. As i stated b4 i shoot the same caliber and bullet. Yardage was not far, but brush can deflect a shot a bit and since he was not that close behind the brush and quartering toward you .... there was not a full broadside...
Cam,
BTW... i am shooting a 30.06 caliber bolt action custom Griffin and Howe model 1903 Springfield which i have used b4 in SA. Have it for years, so i am very comfortable using it...
Should be quite appropriate for any game i am interested in.
Bob
Cam,
Yes i am aware of the croc hunting technique as i have seen many shows on the outdoor channel( tracks across africa, under wild skyes)...
This will be my 3rd safari in SA, so i am familiar with how they hunt there.
One other thing, how are the trackers, skinners, and camp staff , food...
Cam,
My list includes Wart Hog, gemsbok, crock, sable, bluewildebeeste, maybe impala. My wife will be with me as a non hunter..plan to do some extra activities.. planning on a 12 day Safari.
Bob
dear Hunter101,
what I was asking is do or have u hunted with Tally Ho... and if so can you give me your critique...
It seems from your reply you were giving me advice on a special package they advertised a year ago.
