South Africa

Recommended Posts

My dad, our friend Kevin, and myself recently took a trip to South Africa, we hunted just outside of Kimberly which is south west of JoBurg by about 7 hours. In seven days of hunting 24 animals hit the dirt between three of us. Thanks to Andries VanZyl with Mount Carmel Safaries.

Great pics/ great success! I like the pictures with the 700 CDL as your weapon of choice on many of your game.

Wow! I have never been to Africa. Was this your first trip there? how did you like the experience?

 

This was a first trip for all of us, and it was a very interesting experience to say the least. There is definitely a diferent philosophy to hunting over there. If I ever get the chance to go again I will do a true safari, tent camp style and not on a ranches. I had fun dont get me wrong but I wont go back unless I can do something like that.

Thats what I used on every animal I killed. Its also my coues gun and elk gun and coyote gun and pig gun and so on. Its a .270 win and I have had it for almost 15 years. The trigger breaks like glass and I put the Vortex on it last year and it is as crisp and clear as any scope I have ever looked through. I think I might order quick adjustment turrets for it though.

Redicuously cold, woke up to 2" of snow one morning and the wind never blew less than 15-20 mph for the entire trip, which made shooting off of sticks very tricky
