Returned from South Africa a couple weeks ago. My wife, Lisa, and I had a great time. Incredible experiences and memories. We shot a total of 13 animals including a bushbuck, kudu, waterbuck, 2 impala, 4 zebra, 2 baboon, vervet monkey and a maned lion.
I brought 2 rifles, a .375 H&H African Plains Rifle from the custom shop and a 6.5-284 Cooper Model 22. 260 grain Accubonds and Partitions were used in the .375. 140 grain VLD was used on one impala, the rest were 140 grain Partitions. Only one bullet was recovered out of the 13 shots fired and that was perfectly mushroomed Partition fired from 8 yards as "insurance" into the lion. The monkey was shot with a borrowed .22 Hornet.
Lisa thinks this was the hunt of a lifetime, but I am already planning another trip when the taxidermy from this trip is paid for.....
