    The ultimate Elk Cartridge? - Does a Man-Bun make you more sensitive to recoil?

    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...

    New Declaration Required to Enter South Africa Complete Before Entry

    I flew into JNB on 21 June and left 1 July 2026. I didnt have any form and there was no kiosk and there wasn’t anyone asking if we did. Last summer I filled it out on line the day before arrival to JNB but I was never asked for it.

    Thoughts on Cape Buffalo under 40"

    I spent a few days last week in Chobe National Park. I don't believe we saw a single bull that would go much over 40". But there were some truly amazing bulls that were no longer with cows that were amazing. I am not sure I would have measured any...but I surely would have pursued a few!

    How many times to Africa before you get Leopard?

    My first hunt was cut short by Covid. We spent three days before the alarm came out. I hunted three days in the blind for many hours. I returned dour months later and got him on the first sit. So the fourth day but there were two trips.

    Vaal Reebok

    I harvested one last year at the Eastern Cape. I shot a 6.5 creedmoor with sig sauer optics. The shot was 405 yards with a 5 mph cross wind. It was a dedicated small animal hunt for me so that was the reason for the CM. They are beautiful animals and the terrain is much different than most...
