Well it is 2:00am... and I am like a kid on Christmas eve that can't sleep, ready to dive into presents!!
Just booked a hunt in the infamous Selous reserve in Tanzania tonight at the SCI banquet..
This is my second trip to Africa, and 1st buffalo hunt. I am looking for any suggestions, and expectations on hunting the Selous. I am planning on being there the first week of July. Fotunately I will making a short flight from Joburg due to being on a safari in S. Africa.
So back to back safaris!
One question I have aside from any advice is. I am planning on taking my .416 Rem. Has any used this on plains game and at what distance? I have EAW base and rings on my gun, so I figure I can set it up with 2 scopes, one for 400gr and another for .350's or less for plains game. Most likely a z6 with BT to adjust up and down. In South Africa I am targeting a big Kudu, eland, zebra, Heartabeest, possibly a roan and another Gemsbok, and black wildabeast. Mostly larger stuff. In Tanzania will be 2 buffs, and some plains animals probably. My only concern is reaching out, thats it.
