BOTSWANA: Double Rifle Safari Part II Botswana

My first African hunt was with Jaco, it was with out a doubt the best hunt I ever had. We laugh so much Im surprised we didn't scare all the game off. Hes a great guy, I am very glad hes still about and in the business.
Thank you for your post and sharing your hunt.

Regards

Pat
 
The smile on your face tells the story of a great time. The 450/400 is just a classic that performs.
Thanks for sharing, will be interesting at the shows to see what is going to be offered for Botswana in 2020
 
Thanks for sharing a super hunt. Botswana, often overlooked, is a great destination!! possibly my favorite.
 
I’ve never been interested in a double...until now! Thanks a lot for peaking my interest!
Excellent adventure so far! Thanks for sharing!

Hmmm...not sure I thank you for getting me interested in a double though...;)
 
Looks like a great hunt Cal. What area of Bots were you in? We had a fantastic hunt about 3 hours out of Maun last year.
 
Three hours out of Maun, at Ghanzi. The camp is 1/2 hour from Ghanzi.
Doubles are underrated for plains game. I've used my .450-400 since the late 1990s.

Cal. Thanks for the great report. We are now sponsors here on AH. If anyone is interested please have a look at our deals and offers posts.
 
Cal, it wasn’t by any chance Herman and Steenie’s place was it? We had a great hunt on their property.
 
Great trophies. Add a few photos of the rifle please.
 
Sounds and looks like a great hunt. Botswana is on our bucket list of countries to hunt. Thanks for posting.
 
If you hunt with Jaco, you will have a great time.
AG2019: here is the rifle I used.

Not sure your price range. Have a 375 H&H with a muzzle brake. Nice rifle only fired a few times. Also a Mossberg 375 Ruger its been used and shows a few hunts on it.
