As others have stated, Definately take 2 Cameras with you. A good SLR type and a pocket camera. Take a look at what Kodak has to offer. http://store.kodak.com/store/ekconsus/en_US/list/Digital_Cameras/categoryID.28887600

Monish, I have a Browning A Bolt SS Stalker. .375 H&H is my favorite caliber. I have used it for Pronghorn antelope in Wyoming, Elk in Utah, Whitetail deer in NY and PA and Plainsgame in SA. Good to 300 yards and not much meat loss. The range of available bullets really makes it very flexible.

I do not have any experience with a muzzle brake. I do though have experience with Magna-porting. Magna-porting is the best of both worlds. Dampens the recoil and doesn't blast the ears of companions anymore than normal. IMHO. I have a Browning A Bolt in .375 H&H mag that is ported. I bought it...

I bought one last week as a raffle gun at our upcoming SCI chapter dinner. I bought a .458 win mag in brown laminate. Unfortunately they told me they were all out of the deluxe wood. Seems like for the price, how can you go wrong.

Whoops, I quoted "you can borrow money, but you can borrow time" well I didn't proof read very well. Should have been "you can borrow money, but you can't borrow time" Sorry.

I will be there Saturday. Plan on stopping by Owens booth #6333 and introduce myself to Liam. Staying in downtown Harrisburg Friday and Saturday night. Planning on going to Cabela's Sunday, then head home. If anyone else is going to be there, PM me with your Booth or cell number. Always like to...

Like others, my facination started with Curt Gowdy and the "American Sportsman" on TV in the 70s. Wasted a lot of good years, but finally went to RSA in 2009. I have vowed to go back every year. I read a quote somewhere "you can borrow money, but you can borrow time" If you haven't gone to...

Sorry about that, I was just feeling silly !!! :) I went to Wyoming in 2008 Antelope hunting. When I got home, my wife started crying. She was sure I was going to stay there. Now my wife goes on all my hunts to make sure I come home.:D She is a good travel companion and loves to see the...

Though my wife is not into hunting, she would not let me go to Africa without her. She came along with us the whole time. Every step and bumpy road of the way. She LOVED every minute of it. The shooting of the game did not bother her either. Of course we made 1 shot kills and did not attempt to...

mklap : I have spent many years convincing my wife that hunting is not barbaric and that harvesting of animals is not just to pad the ego. I saw a Mark Sullivan video at Cabela's and bought it. I talked my wife into watching it with me. Let me say that out of disgust, my wife left after 10...

Let me see what I can do.

Tarina sent me an email, told me you got a nice Waterbuck. Looks like the CZ .375 H&H in the picture. I think I will take the Delta flight next time. Don't want to stop in Dakar again.

If you contact Air2000, I believe they have a vault to legaly store your firearms while you are there. Not sure of the details, but I am sure there will be plenty of qualified advice coming your way. This forum is very good for that type of question.

"Did I mention I like the 375 H&H cartridge? " Dugaboy1, I think my login of 375lvr should say it all. My point was that there is a perception of people who have never experienced a 375 H&H (which is most NA hunters), that it is a big heavy slow bullet, thus short range gun. I was hunting...

Give me a call anytime on my cell phone. On the trip back, the stop in Dakar is and adventure. You don't leave the plane, but there is a lot going on.

I think you will find the additional xpower useful on longer shots. It use to be that the 375 H&H was thought of as a shorter range gun. 150 yrds or less. With the premium bullets and weights that are available now, the 375 H&H is easily a 300 yard + gun.

That is a good choice.

Sounds like you have a great wife and a good friend. Now that is a wealthy man !!!

I second that. Fantastic !!!!!

Heeler75, you are getting close. What 3 more weeks? Anyway, You will not have to worry about excessively long shots.( Less than 200 yards most of the time) With the 7 mag put the crosshairs straight up the front leg, 1/3 up the body and presto it will go down. With the 270gr interlocks in the...

There is nothing wrong with the 375 Ruger. Only issue I can see is the ammunition is proprietary. If you don't reload, your bullet choices are limited to what Hornady offers. If Hornady would license to the other large ammunition manufacturers, they would really help themselves out. The H&H will...

I really like the Browning A Bolt. The SS Stalker is very durable, shoots nice. Mine has been to the mountains of Utah, the high plains of Wyoming, the woods of PA and South Africa. I like the availablility ammunition for 375 H&H. The 375 Ruger is nice with the short action and barrel. The only...

I always find these threads interesting. I have been to RSA once hunting plainsgame. We encountered Cape buffalo 3 times while hunting Kudo. The first lone bull acted like we didn't even exist. Next we ran into some cows with calves.If you have ever witnessed a herd of cow/calf charge through...

If you take the 375 H&H, there will be no second guessing the decision. You will not be undergunned. Never know what you may run into :)

Big Game can be defined as How much does it cost to hunt :) See how simple that was.

These are always interesting discussions. I have included a picture of part of a bullet (right) retrieved from a Blue Wildebeest I shot in May. I think a seperation of core from jacket is not desirable, but it dropped in it's tracks. With that said, It was an extreme quarter towards me @ 75...

Is it bullet failure if the core and the jacket seperate, but the animal dropped in it's tracks? Has the bullet performed if it passed through the animal? It seems to me that it is only bullet failure if I miss the animal :) Sure couldn't be me !

My 1st trip was 10 days, Gemsbok, Blue Wildebeest, Impala, Blesbok, Springbok. spent the last 4 days looking for Kudo, Eland. Rule of thumb, you are always hunting BIG Kudu and everything else is an opportunity animal. If you trust the PH and he says "That is a nice whatever" SHOOT !!! Worry...

Mag-na-port reduce recoil and muzzle lift on all types of firearms Heeler75, I told you once you shot it, you would love it :) This next comment will get the purest restless, have it magna ported. You will not believe how nice it will shoot. the recoil will be like a 30-06. When I bought my A...

You are going to love shooting the 375 H&H. Don't spent to much time on the bench. Go right to the sticks ASAP. I used the 375 in Wyoming last year Antelope hunting. They drop like stones and very little meat damage. Much less than the 7mm for sure. Grab a couple of boxes of the Federal...

Heeler75, If you have a 375 H&H, I would suggest taking it. It is big medicine for anything you may run into. I shot Federal power-shok 270gr SP. All 5 animals dropped in their tracks. Including a Gemsbok @250 yards. More a testimony to the power of the round than my shooting :) Only problem...

Heeler75, You will have a fantastic time hunting with PL. It was a pleasure to hunt with him and meet his wonderful family. Let me know if you have any questions. I will be happy to help.

I was in RSA the week after that happened. The PH I was with, Pieter-Louis Le Roux of Wild Footprint Safaris is a friend of Gideons and was talking with him on the phone after the incident. Pieter stated that Gideon actually shot and killed the buffalo after the other PH distracted it. Seems...

I found it very hard to tell what was a good Gemsbok. Absolutely depended on the PH. They all look good to me! The one the PH suggested.
