Ya dun screwed up!!(JK) now ya just gotta get back there. And ASAP. Now starts the wheels turning of double rifles, 416svs458s what about a custom 404? Start looking on GB and GI for that new rig ya just gotta have. Oh boy I've been there done that. I will never be a rich man because of Africa but my memories are priceless.

Thanks guys. Had a great hunt. Forgot to add earlier, I was hunting with Crusader Safaris. Would highly recommend for someone looking for good Kudu, Nyala, and Bushbuck hunting. They advertise free range and all I saw where regular low barbed wire fences, just as I would see here at home.
Zengela,
Funny you mentioned the wheels turning towards doubles and new big bores. Already there and have been thinking a .404 or .416 would be nice. 450/400 double perhaps. I'm trying to be more practical and just stay with my Model 70 Stainless Classic in 375 H&H. It sits in an HS Precision stock and is otherwise as is from factory. Feeds flawlessly and shoots lights out with 260 Partitions, 270 TSX and 300 TSX. It is barrel heavy but it shoots so good I'm hesitant to cut barrel back or mess with it. Am seriously considering an Echols Legend stock, however. Not sure if I should go Standard or Magnum fill.
I plan on getting back. Hopefully not long, but my wife mumbled something about kids and college.....
Take care,
Andy

Looks like a great Safari. Nice animals. When you are up close ,to buff and they grunt at you, it steps up your game a bit. Thanks for posting.

What's up with the erase-a-face?
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

Didn't want to detract from the animals with my rugged good looks...

I really like the Nyala and Bushbuck. I need to get back!
Jorge: Maybe he's a dentist and doesn't want to have eco-terrrorists ruin his business. Sad that is what I thought of when I saw that. Can't blame somebody for not wanting any part of that game.

What's up with the erase-a-face? Youngish fellow. Lean. Thick forearms. Short hair. Handy with a rifle. Yup. Dentist for sure, and it's a good idea not to pry further!  Guy

Ha Ha. Nothing too exciting. Not in the witness protection program or CIA. Just didn't see any point in plastering my face on a public forum. Don't have a Facebook account either. And thanks for noticing my forearms.
