RSA Report

[hogpatrol]

Tally for the the RSA hunt: non-trophies, cull hunt. Six springbok, three warthogs, three springhares, one rock rabbit (hyrax) and one guinea fowl. Van Der Kloof lake, one catfish. Richards Bay, one 30k yellowfin tuna and one 5k kawakawa (little eastern tuna). Two seventeen hour and four one hour plane rides.

My RSA hunt with 3S Safaris. Black wilderbeast, Blue wilderbeast, Red Letchwe, and Spring buck. Plane ride, ugh, 2+17+2.5 = 21.5 hours plus 2 hours car travel in RSA each way to/from airport. Had a great time even my wife liked it once she understood RSA.

Yep, the plane ride is a deal killer for many BUT compared to US trophy hunts, there is no comparison.

Took a side trip to Hluhluwe-iMfolozi game park & saw animals in their native environment. Signs warning visitors to not take walks were many. The reason was obvious.

Nice we also hunted RSA last week but its where we call home. Some pics from the Vreestate, in a month and a bit its Bushveld and Kalahari!

Young black Wildebeest bull I shot with my 6SlR and 105HVLD

Big one, 6.5Creed with 147ELD

Another big one at 550y,300wm with 215gr Hybrid

Nice springbok

We also shot around 15 Blesbuck from 300y to about 600y

22-250 with 55gr Sierra does a number on them.

Wow, Hogpatrol check it out, “Big one at 908 yds” with the cartridge that shall not be named.

No way Jose, that round is out of one shot DRT killing gas at that range. BTDT with a 6.5x47L.

Yes I agree Hogpatrol, Africa is a bargain compared to USA hunting. Also the service provided by everyone would put most USA firms to shame.
