Man I love Africa. Landed and getting settled. Hungry, tired. This is #25. Still my first love well except for desert sheep.

Rick asked me to post this; he will provide the details.
Anybody who seriously concerns themselves with the adequacy of a Big 7mm for anything we hunt here short of brown bear, is a dufus. They are mostly making shidt up. Crunch! Nite-nite!

Best of luck, or should I say, have a great time. #25..... wow. Would love to make your acquaintance one day, since we're both in the same neck of the woods.

Bob, I keep shooting as long as they are moving or standing. 4 softs and one solid. I can work a bolt pretty fast so the first three were in about 5-10 seconds.

Very nice! Love the pics.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Love that waterbuck! Lots of mass and character.
