Camel hunting, didn't know that existed.
Could you perhaps elaborate on how that goes?

@VertigoBE, Here are some threads for you to check out:

AUSTRALIA: Sinking The Ships Of The Desert - Hunting Camel In The Australian Outback

Camels are a huge feral animal problem in the Australian Outback. Over the last 18 months I have made three trips 1,700km (one way) to shoot these destructive beasts. The last trip I had along a number of mates and two poms who I had met over the internet. It was a great example of how we can...

9.3x62 VS Large feral male Camel

A lesson in poor shot placement. This Large herd male was shot last August with my 9.3x62 using an experimental mono metal >250 grains. It was shot twice behind both shoulders. The first shot into the left side. The projectile proved too soft for Camels and only encountered the lungs. This...

AUSTRALIA: DIY Outback Camel Hunt

Camels are not hard to kill but they take a long time to realise they are dead. I hope this statement makes more sense as the report unfolds. We received an invitation from one of the local lads working as a jackaroo in far west Qld who was happy for any Warialda shooters to come up and...

AUSTRALIA: Annual Camel Hunt

Due to work commitments my hunting has devolved into one trip a year and as posted on here annually, I go Camel culling in far west Queensland. I have taken my son in the past, however he has enlisted in the regular army as a combat engineer and has found some young tasty female naval...

AUSTRALIA: 2nd Camel Hunt

There are no guarantees when hunting free range game and that was reinforced on our latest Camel shooting trip. Still, if you don't get off the couch/lounge you won't shoot anything. Our first stop on the way up was again Barcaldine at 24:00 and again we slipped into the public camping...

Thanks Jerome! I will!

Hello I’m from Australia and new here … hopefully going to Africa with my friend and my new.375 HH next year.

Nexon, Please be so kind as to email me for more info on our operations in Africa, info@spearsafaris.com
I really look forward to hearing from you.
Regards
Ernest

 

[VertigoBE]

Thanks Jerome! I will!

@AfricaHunting.com : I actually read through all the reports written by @Code4 and that seemed like a lot of fun hunting! Maybe a future safari needs to take place in the Australian outback instead of Africa !
thanks a lot for having taken the time to provide the links to me, much appreciated!

@Nexon : would you also have some stories to tell of hunting camels?

Hello I’m from Australia and new here … hopefully going to Africa with my friend and my new.375 HH next year.

Hello Nexon,

Khomas Highland Hunting Safaris of Namibia, welcomes you to the greatest forum on earth.

The .375 H&H is my favorite hunting cartridge, for Africa’s so called “plains game”.
Likewise, it is my all time favorite for Alaska as well.

On Sept 29, I began writing a thread about hunting with this cartridge, among other topics in there.
It is entitled:

Khomas Highland Hunting Safaris Sept / Oct 2021

I tend to be long winded.
So, if you get bored with my over-descriptive narrative, at least have a peep at the photos, LoL.
I’m still adding words and photos to that narrative.
Hope to finish it soon.

I used 300 grain round nose softs, factory loaded ammunition from Federal brand.
The .375 is such a steady performer that, I cannot figure out why anyone would want to spike it up to higher velocity or, any if the rest of the strange things that people sometimes do, in their efforts to re-invent the wheel.

Cheers,
Velo Dog.

MR VD....please do not take my name in vain and associate it with that 375 thing thank you very much.....

I didn't take you for a .375 detractor, but perhaps I haven't been on AH long enough

Welcome to AH you can't go wrong with Zambia. Also lots of sponsors here that can help you out with planning a hunt wherever you choose to hunt.

Obviously not ....nothing wrong with it...have seen it used to good effect....but as it does nothing for me, it's my job on here to take the piss out of it....bit like those blaser things

Hiho Spiko,

I totally understand your distain for those Blaser contraptions….great minds think alike.
However cama I never, in my wildest dreams would have guessed you for an anti 375 H&H man.
Oh…..oh yeah, I just remembered that you drink orange syrup flavored Grey Goose Vodka, my error.
Ha ha ha ha……..ha !

Oh yeah, you owe me yet another beer Mr. Spikey.
Because every time someone asks me about the notion of hunting in Zambia, I refer them to your web site.
One of these centuries, I plan to collect on all the beers you owe me muchacho.

Your very best mate,
Velo Disease.
