Got a last minute chance to hunt with a PH friend in Zim in August. Due to the continued importation ban on elephants from Zim his schedule was open in mid-August, so bucket list time. I have 2 items on my bucket list and this is one.

It'll be a PG hunt in Southern Zim for a couple of species that have eluded me on prior trips - nyala and bushbuck. If we find them, a representative impala and warthog, probably a zebra and ... such other as fortune might present us, may also be on the list.

Trying to decide whether to take a light, accurate 300 WSM that's been at my side on many hunts or a semi-classic 300 H&H.

What do the old Africa hands think?
