About 50 years ago I started my hunting carrier in the UP. Never killed a dandy buck like that!!!!!! Must have had your heart going pitter patter for a while. Congratulations on one damn fine animal!!!! Liberty

Mr Boddington has a ton of experience in Africa and I can think of no reason to doubt his word on the subject of which gun to use. If I was going I would take 2 rifles, my 375H&H and my 300 win mag. Both loaded with Barnes TSX bullets. I'd probably never touch my 300 but just have it there as a...
