Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Africa Pics from my Africa hunt.

Outfitter: Cruiser safari
Animals: Kudu,Gemsbuck,Impala,Blesbuck,Warthog,Wildebeast
Rifle: .308win
Bullet: 155gr Berger VLD

The travel distance was rough, but the hunting was fabulous. Definitely worth experiencing Africa.

Best highlight of trip: 8 hrs stalking this 55" Kudu
Worst: 100 Tick bites from crawling thru grass.

Amazed at the amount of wildlife...Birds,monkeys,snakes,baboons,ect...your eyes never get a break in Africa.

Great pics, Stoney! You got back quicker than I thought you would. When you get over the jet lag, how about alittle more on the day-to-day, and definately more pics!

Did you leave the trophies with highveld, or are you shipping them home to be done here?

Various pics taken also...

Peter has excellent hunting & accomodations, appreciate You & Steve for reccomending Cruiser. I'm having them dipped & sent back to be done here.

Stoney,

Smokin kudu!

Let us know if the VLDs worked OK.

It must not have worked out between you and your lady friend over there?? Ask Jeff.

Thanks JB. Lol,no lady friend this trip. VLD bullets busted each shoulder and turned the lungs/heart into soup. Everything dropped within 10yards. Kudu went 20yards, though 10 of it was rolling down a rock ditch in the Mnts. Look close, you can see blood on every rock.

Unfortunetely dogs were needed for 2 other hunters shooting 300win mags to find there Kudu & Gemsbuck. Kudu was found, other hunter had to pay for drawing blood. This all boils down to shot placement.

My PH insisted on me placing every shot in the "low-shoulder" area. Behind the shoulder he called it "no mans land". In N.America Ive always placed the crosshair behind the shoulder, but done exactly what my PH requested & it 'flattened the animals everytime.

Stoney, who was your ph for the trip?

New PH John. I dropped 5-8lbs past week putting many miles on my feet.

Congrats Stoney!

Looks (and sounds) like a fantastic adventure.
Good thing you're back, I was worried you wouldn't get a chance at 300mag's March scope in the classifieds.

Veddy cool! You got some good stuff!

Beautiful Kudu! Looks like a great trip. You're making me want to go back already....

Well done! Fantastic kudu and the rest of the trophies are really good, welcome home.

Awesome! The Kudu is beautiful!

Get some sleep, and give us a blow by blow.

I'm a .308 freak, and now...I bet you are too!

Congrats Stoney, glad you had a fun safe hunt, and a lifetime of memories. Looks like some 300 shooters need some range time

Nice trophies and pics, thanks for sharing.

BTW, I though you said you weren't that great a shot? BS!!

Beautiful trophies, thanks for the pics. jorge
