Kacee and I hunted with Omujeve safaris last week. She was shooting her 7mm/08 loaded with Barnes 140 gr Tsx. I was shooting .300 wing Mag load with Barnes 168gr TTSX. We hunted hard and out PH was awesome especially with Kacee as most of the animals were taken from 150-200 yds off shooting sticks. The weather was 40-69 degrees it was incredible hunt and already trying to figure out how to return. she took the blue on stalk with ph and well placed shot from the 7/08 she had her first African trophy, we went back for lunch at the lodge which was first class. Later in the afternoon she took a great Kudu

the next day we hunted hard and passed on several animals until this gemsbok was spotted and Kacee made a great stalk and shot on this 42" gemsbok.

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

After passing a sable the third day she wanted a giraffe and I had told her no sable if you shoot giraffe so we headed to north ranch where she took a giraffe to start the morning. she dropped him one shot with 7mm/08 and then two immediate to chest to be certain. He was dead when hit ground from well placed neck shot below head.

The next day she put great stalk on a black wildebeest. The 7/08 continued to work flawlessly.

WOW! You guys got some excellent trophy quality! Many Congrats! Thanks, went to dr today and was sent to hospital for Doppler as I took a bad fall while hunting and bruised leg. The dr said I should have never gotten on the plane to come home, well I did and after I sonogram(Doppler) exam to dr's disbelief no signs of clots was given a script for the swelling.

Just wonderful trophies with the wife stealing the show! Congrats all around and you are lucky that the leg didn't give you a real emergency.
