All of these are great answers. I have used a 6.5 cm with 143 eldx for 4 of my 8 tiny ten. Little hide damage and excellent for other larger animals. The bule duiker fell to a shotgun from a blind. I used a 300 black out for the common duiker with supersonic hornady ammo. And I used a 375...

we have a GSP and a wire hair. Fantastic dogs as has been mentioned. My GSP is the definition of ADD--i have him run behind my side by side at 23 mph for 2 miles before we train--any slower and he runs around the machine--any faster he gets distracted--regardless of temp and regardless of...

Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris!

my first two trips to Africa I used 175 grain A frames in a browning 7 Rem Mag--it liked the bullet--slowed them down a little but results were excellent!

I shot a damara with 375 h and h solid in Namibia as a target of opportunity. I did take a blue duiker in Eastern Cape with a benelli SBE and shot it with bird shot from a blind at a water site. Didn't mangle up the body.

I have a Tikka in 6.5 creed. I have hunted Vaal and four tiny 10 with it. I enjoy the accuracy and lighter recoil and effective distance for smaller animals. I was really interested in the peak ammo. But tikka says its rifles can’t withstand the pressure. So at one level I’m glad I...

Welcome to AH from the low country of SC!!

Well designed bullets at appropriate velocities placed in vital tissue kill animals. Poorly placed bullets in the wrong place produce problems. My daughters used a .243 with Barnes TTSX for one shot kills on zebra, wildebeest (she executed a crappy shot followed by a perfect shot), and two...

we flew into Joberg on 21 June 26 and drove to Kasane from the Limpopo. We purchased global rescue for medical but not political evacuation. I think it was $350 for my two daughters and my wife and me. I also purchased a travel insurance through GR for travel issues only--I used the cost of...

excellent trophy! Congrats!!

I am afraid your flight wishes are a little high...however as others have said I hope you have a fantastic safari!!

I have had a great steak at Don Shula’s in west palm in the early 2000’s. I had a great steak in Chicago in a hotel that had the top rated steak in Chicago that year (2001). We shared a fantastic steak in Aruba— dry aged 48 oz Tomahawk from Argentina But I would argue that my favorite...

So, according to this logic bows don’t send arrows fast enough with enough damage? I have shot an elk with 7mm rem mag. But, last summer on a tiny ten specific hunt I took a kudu at 90 yards with a 6.5 creedmoor ELDX one shot. DRT My two youngest daughters two weeks ago shot two impala, a...
