I believe we each make that choice. Neither is right nor wrong. Sunny case, I prefer fewer trips and wild areas.

In the air Tampa to Atlanta then to Joburg. Next day Zimbabwe. My CO’s 375 and 404j are coming along. I find the 375 a pleasure to shoot. The 404j is fine standing off hand. I will use the 404j for my first elephant and will let you know how it goes. As always, shot placement means the most.
I treat my safari clothes with Premethrin and bring along Picaridin spray for the biters. We leave for Tokoloshe in five days. I used spray this time vs. immersion in the bucket. Let them hang dry for a couple days, then once through the washer, no soap and dryer then into the bags. We...

Have a blast. I'm wheels up June 25 Tampa ATL Joberg, overnight at City Lodge, then to Vic Falls the. next day. You will have a great time. Remember, take what Africa offers while you're out hunting!
