I have just returned from my first African trip for plains game. Nothing new, except I took my trusty Remington 870 with Remington's new Accutip sabot slug. My PH had no experience with slug or slug hunters, but was willing to try. And try we did. Now 200yds is about to outside range of this weapon, so many stalks were in order to get within a reasonable range. We were persistant and we successful with a blesbok at 170, kudu at 55, impala at 125, sprinbok at 140, bush pig at 10 and a duiker at 100. They were impressed with the knockdown power. I am already planning next year with zebra and gemsbok on the plate. Plus a good warthog. Did not see any this trip with decent teeth. Good excuse to go back. I do know that trip cannot really be adequetly decribed, only expereiced. The sunsets, the stars, the GAME. Hemingway was right.
