What was your first African Animal?
Saw an earlier post and it got me thinking about my first African Animal and the experience, so I thought I'd start us a thread. A proper Nyala spot and stalk, second day, Winchester 70. 30-06 Barnes TTSX 180gn, shot distance approx. 120 yards, one shot bang flop, Limpopo SA.

Hydrostatic shock does not help kill animals
The guys at Barnes say hydrostatic shock isn't important. Only permanent wound cavities contribute to killing. What say you?

Zambian Elephant and Lechwe Hunt - Karoo Wild Safaris
The Zambian leg of our 26-day adventure began with a turbulent descent into Lusaka airport in our King Air charter, the downside of flying at midday in a light aircraft. After 10-days on safari, we missed fast food terribly and we murdered half a dozen cheeseburgers before stocking up on some supplies at the mall below our hotel.
DJ's camera had taken a knock and he stayed in Lusaka to source an emergency back-up camera. Rob, myself and PH Peter left at 4:30 am for Kafue to hunt a Kafue...

I used to really hate the .308
I've been thinking of posting here more, instead of just reading and commenting from time to time. Seems selfish to just hang in the shadows. So here's a post about my change in thinking and a new project.
I used to hate the 308. Not for any good reason really, just emotional. I disliked it like @Bob Nelson 35Whelen hates the .243. When I was a kid, all my reading material was books checked out from the library or purchased at the "friends of the library" sale. Needless to say...
