The post has been up since 9 September, they have not clarified that fact that it is darted . Lots of people commented on the fact it dying - Not good public relations in these times.

I was thinking that too at first , but no explanation, 30 plus comments most saying bad taste as still alive- context is everything, can’t post half a story. If it darted say it is darted- I have shot old breeding stock in SA so it does get shot. Would not post a video of looking half dead...

I have just seen on instagram an outfitter posting a video of a very large gut shot springbok. The animal is obviously still alive , the animal has been propped up with the hunter moving its head around to get the best angles for the video- Personally I think that is in poor taste and playing...

I wanted to cancel my 2022 Africa trip due to a cancer scare with my wife- my outfitter was very understanding and said I would not be charged if I could not make it. I was going with a few Friends and they would continue with the trip. Only one of my friends knew about my wife being ill. As...

Sorry , don’t reload , but have used .308 In 2019 on plains game with no issues at all- 150 g federal fusion. 300 win mag 2022 - Sako super hammer head - definitely more then enough gun on plains game- 30-06 2024 - Sako super hammer head - again no issues on plains game, shots all under 365...

My One and only Bushbuck from 2024, failed in 2022 & 2019 to find one.

The other advantage to using sticks- recent trip to SA.My PH used the inverted sticks to make us look like an Oryx on the open hill to get close to the Mountain Zebra . Frontal shot at 365 yds on open hill would not of been possible without the use of sticks- Zebra was dead before it hit the ground.

Have been using Quad stick for a number of years. Both for UK deer stalking and Hunting trips in SA. Once you get used to them , there is no going back. Regular head shot deer at 100 yds plus with no issues.
