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!

Just wanted to say thanks for the excellent customer service. Ordered some 9.3x62 brass and the delivery was a little short. An email through your website Contact Us link was replied to the next day with the tracking info for the correction. Good pricing coupled with great customer service will see returning customers every time. Thanks again!
