Who is into hunting, where do you hunt, what rifles you have or like hunting with, which type of hunting method do you prefer, I for one, strictly stick to a good old walk and stalk...

Cool, Just got a .204 (still in license process) will give it go in the Karoo next year, Springbok. What's the average rate for Kudo in your area?

Everywhere, in SA or NAM, but last 3 were at Beaufort wes, kimberly and Petrusville.

I hunt anything I can afford and eat, so no predators, but if I name all I have hunted and eten people will loose their minds.

I consider myself to be part of the hunting community - .243 and .308 in my safe.  I also do handloads for both.

Fanciest animal shot so far was a black wildebeest in the Free State (with a borrowed .300 Win Mag).

I agree with only shooting edibles, but will shoot at vermin like jackals, etc.

Some I will never forget. 2 coming at 7 yards, one at 10 yards, another at 15 yards. Elephant at 15 and 20. All required but one well placed shot and the lights and water were switched off! Most devastatingly effective rifle I have ever used.
7 x 65R/12ga combination Belgium-my son's bushpig and warty gun and for plains game.
9.3 x 74R/12ga combination-my bushpig and warty and plains game gun.

Wow IWyk amazing collection and stories.
My dad is a serious collector, will have to check what he has now as it's always changing.
Of note in his collection, a 220 Swift, amazing blow them up where they stand varminter, a Springfield 30-06 converted for hunting but retaining the full wooden stock, heavy as but incredibly accurate, I shot a 10mm grouping with 5 rounds at 250m with this rifle. The end of many a kudu and gemsbok.
Many interesting handguns, shotguns and small calibers too.

You and he would get along like a house on fire I reckon.
