Just got in this morning from my first trip to Africa. Hunted in S. Africa. Trip was truly amazing. Seeing that much game, hunting all day, drinking at night, sleeping in a bed. Big change from DIY elk in the Rockies. But working with a great PH, seeing the trackers/skinners doing their job was a great learning experience. I'll add more details later, but here is a start.

Basics: Kimber MT, 338 Fed, 160 TTSX. Shots were 50 to 190 yards and nothing traveled more than 30-40 yds.

16 Hours Dulles to Jo-burg(via Senegal)

First to go down was a nice Gemsbok. (~168 yds off sticks)

On day two, I got lucky to have this great Blesbok stand out from the herd. (190 yds). Credit for this really has to go to the PH who spotted him in the herd and was able to quickly talk me onto him.

These guys are hard to see in the thick stuff! Finally found one, and was able to get a shot, after three days of trying.

Last, but not least, was this fine Impala.
