How much can a fully grown male baboon weight in South Africa?
I read somewhere that max is 30kg and somewhere 45kg.

Never weighed baboon after a hunt until last week hunted big baboon male with bow and
We were at the skinning ched for iinterest sake I wanted to weigh the baboon pulled the scale to 31 kg and this is deep winter so think in summer with abundance food and water they can reach 40 kg
Keep well

I shot one "big fucking male" as my PH said.
It was big enough to scare the shit out of us when
he attacked when we walked up to him after the shot.
Think we both made new sprint records!

I've been told their teeth are longer than a leopards. Idk if that's true but it wouldn't surprise me.

A civil war general is said to have told his men " shoot when you see the white of enemy's eyes" ......"if you still see eyes shoot him again"! I think this would be the best way to come at a baboon!

We have baboon males on our farm that easily tip the scales at 40kg and are as tough as nails!

my rifle on my back and a film camera in my hand!

Jerome, do you think my last post in rough camping must maybe shift as an article?

Good afternoon,
I'm trying to get in contact with Mr Butch Searcy. I have the opportunity to buy one of his rifles chambered in 577 nitro Express however the seller does not have any of the paperwork with the information about what ammunition or bullet weight was used to regulate it. I know he is not making firearms anymore but I wanted to reach out after seeing one of your post about him.

Hi - the only (best) method of sending you the .375/06IMP data is with photographing my book notes. My camera died so the only way I can do it is with my phone. To do that, I would need your e-mail address, as this
new Android phone is too complicated to upload to my desk computer, which would be easier and to down-grade, reduce the file sizes.
Best wishes
