You will notice your crosshairs moving with your heartbeat, breathing, shaking…at 16x this is magnified.

My doctor said to me the key to longevity is drink lots of water and walk every day. Not running or jogging, but walking. I take a 1 mile long walks daily.

Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris!

"Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris!"

I hunted with Nick Bowker Hunting, highly recommend his outfit. Great value package hunts, excellent quality of animals, and huge expansive land to hunt. Free range animals with low fence ranches, excellent meals, top notch equipment, excellent website, what more can you ask for.

The best advice I can give is practice with the same type of shooting sticks your PH uses or bring your own. Also study the shot placement vitals of your animals you are hunting (If you hit your warthog bad, you are in for a long day). The vitals are lower and more forward than North American...

I also received excellent service from this outfit.

Check out Nick Bowker: https://nickbowkerhunting.com/africa-hunting.php. His operation is free range hunting, all done on sheep and cattle ranch land. I hunted with Nick this year and saw thousands of free ranging animals, harvesting 9 different species.

I’d add the steenbock, only sets you back about $200 and can be a challenging tiny ten trophy to acquire.

16x is too much for the ranges you are talking about. Anything below 500 yards you will be fine with 6x. More magnification makes it harder to find the target. Also as my PH said it also shows your crosshairs wobbling which translates into less confidence.

I hunted with Nick Bowker this year and used his gun. We used a Swarovski z8i 2-16x50. I say we because as I aimed at game anywhere between 30 yards to 400 yards Nick would adjust the turrets for the range. It was a sweet setup, all I did was put the crosshairs on the target, wait for the go...

Wow, crazy indeed. I flew in April with United and Gracy Travel, no delays and no problems MKE-Newark-Johannesburg. I know this isn’t for everyone, but I highly recommend what I did. Fly with only one Cary on luggage, no gun. Smooth sailing using the outfitter’s gun (Nick Bowker Hunting).
