Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Africa Most Difficult SA Plains Game

It took me 4 trips to Africa before I shot my first Warthog, mainly out of desperation as he wasn't as big as others that I had seen. I asked my taxidermist to just lightly glue his tusks in so if I ever shoot a bigger one, I can just swap the tusks.


I shot my Vaal Rhebok the first afternoon that I got to the property that we were going to hunt them on. The landowner couldn't go with us that afternoon so he sent one of his helpers with us. The animals that we saw were very skittish and I had to belly crawl into position for a prone 200 yd shot with my .375 RUM. When the landowner saw my buck, he said that he could have found my a bigger one if we had waited until the next day.


I've always wanted to get a porqupine but have only seen one and couldn't get a shot.
