Kudu all day every day in EC... Maybe a spot of bushbuck or fallow deer chasing in between...

Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris!

I have always found Impala to be tough as nails though. Them and gemsbok are incredible when someone makes a bad shot- they are in for a big game of "Let me show you the whole property this afternoon...."

when it comes to certain animals even with gut feel it was a good shot, you slap it again Kudu comes to mind. You hit a kudu perfectly and it lies down. Always hit it again.

I have seen lots of plains game dropped with 375 with surprisingly little meat damage. I wouldn't hesitate in using it

I have hunted Springbok and Impala with 165 grain in .308 win. Bullet performed well enough and I was able to group the shots well enough even on factory ammo

...and after 5 pages you know what really makes the most sense? Get a 308 Winchester, develop a 150grain load for day to day hunting and stretching the legs and a 180grain load for when you need a bit more wallop. And go enjoy it...

I could be wrong but I think 375 is minimum in SA as well.

Speak to Henno at Dream Team, they can arrange to hunt a property near Douglas Northern Cape for Aoudad. We saw a few impressive animals there in April.

Hi All Newbie that has been lurking for months now, figured it is time for an intro... I do a fair amount of wing shooting and clay pigeon club shoot once a month. I try hunt plains game yearly, walk and stalk strictly, shooting a 308.
