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

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.

Love that waterbuck! Lots of mass and character.


I am continually astounded at how quickly people make up their minds on little evidence or none at all.
