    SOUTH AFRICA: First South African Safari & Fantastic Time With Bos en Dal SAFARIS

    We head back to the main property. We had been seeing a nice male sable intermittently the last few days and I had even made an unsuccessful stalk on him once, but he was always very alert and ready to run. We have now come up on him in a fairly open area. We had joked around about being...

    SOUTH AFRICA: First South African Safari & Fantastic Time With Bos en Dal SAFARIS

    We had made a plan to start out early on day four to take another chance on the nice nyala bull. We get over to the other property just as the sun is coming up and we see several Nyala coming in. There are two nice bulls that we decide to get a closer look at. One is definitely a shooter so...

    SOUTH AFRICA: First South African Safari & Fantastic Time With Bos en Dal SAFARIS

    After lunch we aren’t having much luck seeing anything else on our list so Rikus decides to try another property. Soon after we get there we see a nice Nyala bull. We decide to make a stalk on him since the nyala was high on Ken’s list. There were several impala near by and they kept busting...

    SOUTH AFRICA: First South African Safari & Fantastic Time With Bos en Dal SAFARIS

    We move off the mountain and start looking for other animals on our lists, it’s about 9:00 in the morning and we see a nice herd of blesbok. It’s Ken’s birthday afterall so it’s only fair he gets to take a shot at one. They get set up and the first shot is a clean miss. The herd runs away. I...

    SOUTH AFRICA: First South African Safari & Fantastic Time With Bos en Dal SAFARIS

    Day Three and it’s Ken‘s birthday. I won’t say that he deliberately planned to be there on his birthday but I’ll let you decide. We are out and spotting early. We are glassing for male Kudu. We had been seeing plenty of females and young ones so Rikus wants to see if the males come out on...

    SOUTH AFRICA: First South African Safari & Fantastic Time With Bos en Dal SAFARIS

    After lunch we head back out, we see lots of animals and make a few unsuccessful stalks on some blue wildebeest. We headed back in and enjoyed the cloudless sunset while we sipped libations around the fire with Gerrit, his family, and Rikus. They were having their traditional Saturday night...

    SOUTH AFRICA: First South African Safari & Fantastic Time With Bos en Dal SAFARIS

    As we are making our way out of that property we spot a male Kudu. Imagine my excitement! The number one animal on my list and he’s right there with his spirals glinting in the sun. I‘m a bit bummed when Rikus tells me he’s not the one I want; after all there wouldn’t have been anything to...

    SOUTH AFRICA: First South African Safari & Fantastic Time With Bos en Dal SAFARIS

    Day 2 on Saturday morning we have a small bite and some coffee then you’d again. Ken is feeling a bit left out at this point and is itching to get a shot on something. We head over to another property see several common springbok and some copper. We find a herd of red hartebeest and make a...

    SOUTH AFRICA: First South African Safari & Fantastic Time With Bos en Dal SAFARIS

    After shooting the impala we drove around a bit and saw lots of other game but nothing for the taking. Evening ended with a great dinner and a sit by the fire.

    SOUTH AFRICA: First South African Safari & Fantastic Time With Bos en Dal SAFARIS

    After getting the rifles lined out we headed out to begin our hunt! Even though we had an ideal list of animals we were open to whatever the bush provided and it wasn’t long before we were on our first stalk on a group of impala. It was pretty surreal to finally be following along behind the...

    SOUTH AFRICA: First South African Safari & Fantastic Time With Bos en Dal SAFARIS

    Next morning it was off to the shooting range. Ken had Gerrit purchase a Freyr and Devik suppressor for my .300WSM and it was there waiting for me to put it on and re-zero. On a side note, this suppressor turned out to be pretty sweet! Very light weight with great recoil and sound reduction...

    SOUTH AFRICA: First South African Safari & Fantastic Time With Bos en Dal SAFARIS

    Once in Joburg, we were greeted and collected by Henry’s man before finding Gerrit and Rikus of Bos en Dal to gather our rifles. A little serial number issue caused a temporary moment of grief but was soon remedied in a way that suited the SAPS and my anxious hunting partner! We arrived late...

    SOUTH AFRICA: First South African Safari & Fantastic Time With Bos en Dal SAFARIS

    Being able to speak to someone about their personal experience really helped solidify our choice to choose Bos en Dal! Once we talked with Gerrit and finalized our dates and a tentative list of hopeful trophies it was finally real and the countdown was on! In the last couple months leading up...

    SOUTH AFRICA: First South African Safari & Fantastic Time With Bos en Dal SAFARIS

    @kdenn and I just got back from our first African safari a couple weeks ago with @Bos en Dal SAFARIS. I’m sure several of you have already seen his write up and so I’ve decided to give my perspective as a first timer, huntress and wife and try not to be too redundant! Ken and I started...

    Hello from the Bluegrass!

    I have hunted white tail deer and axis deer with a 6.5CM. I have a custom 300WSM that I plan to take to New Zealand to hunt red stag this spring providing they allow outsiders in; also plan to use the 300WSM and 6.5CM in Africa. I enjoy shooting several calibers. Have a custom 300PRC for ELR...
