My younger brother shot this bull with SS Pro in 2012, Scott has some big bulls though you'll pay for it. I believe they take 1-2 60"+ every year. This one was just a tad under 55"and I kick myself every day for not putting kudu on my list.

Incredible! Always look forward to your posts Christophe.

My experience is quite a bit more limited than others here as I only have experience with the CZ so take what I have to say with a grain of salt. On my 1st trip to SA the last day of the hunt I dropped my rifle and knocked the scope off. My PH loaned me his CZ 550 in .375. I fell in love and...

I have the fever and I don't even have a trip planned. Have a blast and good luck!

Beautiful animal! Definitely an animal to be proud of, congrats!

Thank You MT Griz, I liked the explanation using the controlled vs uncontrolled scenarios.

greyfox you are exactly right, it just took a little explanation from others for me to wrap my head around the concept.

Thank you for the responses - I swear there was a wall up between me and understanding the use of solids. Buff, your explanation really helped. Brickburn, your analogy made it simple. Thanks again!

My experience is limited but I will offer it up. I knocked the scope off on my Tikka T3 Lite in 7mm Rem Mag on hunt in SA last July and ended up borrowing my PH's .375 H&H in a CZ 550. I am not really recoil sensitive but was a little anxious about shooting the .375. I fired a few rounds from...

I am having a difficult time wrapping my head around the use of solids. I just completed my first trip to Africa in July for PG and am working my butt off to get back as soon as possible in hopes of going after a buffalo. I say all that just to give me experience level hunting Africa. As...

I count 6 with possibly a seventh to left.

I am not a fan of snakes in the least, they scare the crap out of me to be honest. I was lucky not to encounter any poisonous snakes on my trip last August but we did come across this python who had fallen into a water tank. My PH's decided to rescue the snake, I argued but lost. The snake...

That is an impressive animal, incredible mass!

Kevn, I thoroughly enjoyed the short story. Looks like I have another book to add to my reading list.

I hunted with SS Pro Safaris in August of 2012. My younger brother and I went for a 7 day hunt and had an absolute blast! This was my first trip to Africa and it won't be my last, I will go back to hunt with Scott. My brother and I did very well taking 2x steenbuck, 2x impala, 1 female...
