30 June 620 pm. Calm, 35 degrees, rising barometer, clear 62% humidity We went to hunt on Magdalena Ranch for Blesbok today. It was good to see Dirk, the manager again. This is a neighboring property so after a short drive we picked up dirk, who guided us to an area where he knew there were...

Thank you enysse. Yes if you look one horn is shorter than the other, the long one is broomed and he has an ear thats fairly shredded. There is a lot of living on that old bull. The wildebeest was a great trophy just because he was so damn wily. Just being able to get close enough for a stalk...

Yes they are Ridgewalker! Its the only animal I've hit with a .375 and gotten no reaction until it dropped dead. Thanks for stopping by!

29 June 520 am. Calm, 55 degrees, steady barometer, overcast, 60% humidity. Today we head out to Brakfontein Farm to go after Eland. Chamanzi isn't good Eland country, so we have to hunt farther afield. An interesting time I'm sure. It feels warmer this morning. The wind dying down helps. It...

28 June 615 am. Calm, 34 degrees, steady barometer, clear, 73% humidity. Frost this morning. Very cold by local standards. It might be a tough day hunting. I can guarantee it will be a cold day in the back of the truck! 530 pm. S wind 5-10, 55 degrees, falling barometer, overcast, 60%...

Thanks enysse. hang in there, There is some more hunting happening.

Thanks for stopping by Dewald, I couldn't agree with you more!

Glad to hear it cls. You're welcome.

27 June 540 am. Calm, 38 degrees, rising barometer, partly cloudy, 63% humidity A cold morning. It is in the high 30's and feels colder it's going to be a tough morning in the truck until it warms up. The plan for today is to go after wildebeest. One of the wary old loner bulls is going to end...

For that level of detail, you'd need to call the Hornady help line they can look it up in the production schedules. I live 23 miles from the factory... I know a guy.

Ok. Those arent the new bonded bullets. That bullet lot is from 2015, no chance that they are bonded.

Ok if it is 82681 ammo its obsolete non-bonded bullet ammo. If it is 82683 ammo it has bonded bullets. And to clarify; the bullets are the same number, but there is a B added to all bonded bullets, the packaging will say bonded in big bold letters. That makes absolutely sure you're getting bonded.

Yes, the part number remains the same What is the caliber and the lot number?

26 June 535 am. Calm, 48 degrees, rising barometer, clear, 61% humidity The start of another day that is better than most. Today focuses on glassing for Bushbuck. Which in these parts are shy and scarce, and possibly settling one of the two lone Wildebeest bulls that are also amazingly shy and...

Thanks Bruce. I promise, I do occasionally shoot something.

Thank you Ridgewalker! I'll be sure to include some terrain photos for you. Just remember, photos don't do steep justice.

Thank you johnnyblues. I'm hoping I can do the hunt justice.

Thank you reedy. Hang in there there is plenty more!

Thanks Nyati. I'm pretty find of it myself!

25 June 520 am. Calm, 44 degrees, rising barometer, fog, 61% humidity. It looks like a cold front came through last night. The South is the cold wind here, that takes some remembering. It also takes some remembering that despite the green trees, its midwinter here and hunting goes accordingly...

June 24, 530 am. Light breeze from the N, 42 degrees, steady barometer, clear, 56% humidity. It actually feels cold this morning to summer acclimated me, so its time to break out the silk weight long johns (gear list at the end of this) and carry on. Hopefully the game will be moving when the...

All right, now on to the more detailed report. This is going to take a while so keep watching. June 23, Chamanzi Safari Camp, 545 am. Calm, 52 degrees, steady barometer, clear. After the usual endurance race that are the flights to get here, Lincoln Ne to Minneapolis Mn, to Atlanta to...
