SOUTH AFRICA: Tiny 10 In East Cape

Great info. Thanks for the time to complete the trip follow up. I will be chasing Vaal, klipe and mountain reed bucks summer of 2026 and your info will be helpful and having me watch more videos.
 
Thank you for sharing this amazing trip, even with the ups and down, I believe it was after all a successful hunt. The great animals you took were hard earned, which in my humble opinion adds to the memories of the hunt. The EC has showed me that it's not an easy place to hunt, and nothing it's a guarantee there. (y)
 
You have earned some life long memories. The EC is such varied terrain and each has it's own beauty.
I am happy for you to get your grysbok! Both the cape and sharpes took me two trips.

I also owe you an apology from when we spoke before your hunt to not mention stiffer boots for the mountain animals.

The klippies will be easier to find in limpopo, I have never seen one in the EC in 3 trips, know there are some but :Cyclops:
 
Nice animals and a great write up. My Klippi came from the EC so they are there. Just need the right mountain I guess. Congrats on your hunt.

Great experience and report. Great call on being selective. Good luck in Mozambique
 
Great report, Bryan. And some very nice animals. Glad you could finally get a warthog; to me they are so addicting.
 
Thanks Roger. Warthogs seem very random to me. Some places are better than others but encountering good pigs has some measure of luck. You run into them most trips and I don't! To me, they are targets of opportunity. If we see a good one, I'm interested but mostly I just run into females and young males.
 
Chances are good you will run into some good warthog in Mozambique as well.
 
I'm excited to see Moz...finish that leopard...nearly finish T10...see some new country.

thanks for your reply bob , is it feasible to build a 444 on a P14/M17 , or is the no4 enfield easier to build? i know where i can buy a lothar walther barrel in 44, 1-38 twist , but i think with a barrel crown of .650" the profile is too light .
