Speed is not your friend. Y’all’s taxidermist are going to hate you. .22 magnum would be my go to, or maybe a .22 hornet if I thought I needed to make longer shots. I’ve killed impala at over 100 yards with a .22mag. Remember, they are tiny. I really enjoyed using a .22 mag on my...

This thread is relevant to my interest!!! Congrats on time well spent.

I just donated. He left a wife and two very young girls per the go fund me. Let’s hit the fundraiser hard.

I can’t get excited high pressures. If I wanted a faster 6.5 I would just shoot a 6.5 prc. I don’t really understand the push for performance in hunting arms.

Praying for you. Hang in there brother!!!

My close PH friend told me about a client couple who saved money for their safari by neutering their own cat rather than going to the vet. I’m told it involved a pillow case.

It is a little different that other places. The size is an actual limit that is very achievable. You may likely see bulls much bigger, but they are off limits.

Almost the same spot isn’t the same spot… A few inches higher on your shot and you would have been having a rough day. A few inches lower on his first shot and he’s not writing this thread.

This is so cruel. I wish I had never known the glory. I have a stash of old tungsten, bismuth, and heavinshot I’ll probably use this year. I have some tss left but not enough to make me feel good about things. If it ever comes back down I’m going to buy up a lifetime supply of the shot.

Well done!! Sounds like a proper adventure. Good call on not using the borrowed double. Seems like the .416 bolt was perfect for the job.

You should look at the South Africa hunts in the greater Kruger. The elephant are grossly overpopulated. The terrain is such that they can be spotted and stalked without many miles of tracking. In places like Zimbabwe the areas with the best terrain are parks or farms or something else...

I have enjoyed the in reach mini on trips to Zim and Argentina. I like that I have an independent way to communicate off grid. The plans are super affordable.

I’ve got a pair and I love them. I picked them up as a backup for a trip. They ended up becoming my everyday boot. I even were them to court with my suit sometimes when I’m being lazy. I think I have the PH.

All of my friends have their 23 trophies back now. You probably need to check with your outfitter. I know loosing the exporter created a bottle neck even after trophies were released.

I have killed a pile of great animals with montec G-5s. It would be cool to expand my brand loyalty. lol. A little off topic, but here is a pic of my last montec kill.
