Hey guys,
Thanks for all the kind words!

Hi guys. Sorry about the absence, but I've been quite busy with hunting and what not. Our long awaited Barbary sheep /Aoudad hunt took place last week/end. CF Roux arranged that Gé and myself were able to go hunt sheep on his boss' farm on special invite. We also asked him to arrange two gemsbuck fo...

What do you do with them? Can you sell the hides? They stay on the farm. There is a tiny market for skins (Around $18 U.S ), but the V-Maxes blow huge holes in the pelts. It's also an ethics thing to keep them on the farm, because some hunters have given frozen jackal from other farms to farmers, a...

Hi Silverfox,
Here's the methods we use:

Morning guys. The .204 bagged it's first jackal this past weekend. Male of 4 years, and a female of 5 years. The little 32gr V-Max hits like an RPG! I love the little rifle more every day! https://dl.dropbox.com/u/49750262/Jackal/IMG00025-20120923-2018.jpg https://dl.dropbox.com/u/49750262/Jackal/IM...

What an awesome looking rifle! Good shooting man!

50lb baboon, and a +-130ld European boar. Baboon at 220yd, and the boar at around 80yd. Both D.R.T.

Hey Tonk,
We shot the .338 Lapua out to 1300yds this weekend. I was astonished at how flat shooting it is!
Eland are tough animals! Anything less than a premium monolithic- or bonded lead core would find it hard to break their big shoulderbones.

Morning all. I took my mate Gé and his daughter out this past weekend to draw first blood with my .204. Here are his words: Geno arranged that I come cull a wildboar that Vincent needed to get rid of. The pig was very aggressive towards horses and people. The idea was to shoot it with my recurve bow...

Well, we shot it next to a suppressed AR-15 .223, and we couldn't decide which one was louder. The suppressor was made by Nico at www.numenor.co.za , and they do an awesome job!

Hey guys, Thought I'd share this with you. I shot this jackal on Friday night with a friend's Truvelo .338 Lapua sniper rifle. Distance was +- 140m, quartering towards. The 250gr Lapua Lock Base FMJ hit it on the shoulder, and exited at the rear. I found the tail 6 metres from the body. One thing's ...

Great idea! I might just make one to use when doing a day call on some jackal!

Are those tsetse flies on the head of the springbok in the one picture? I've read a lot of old stories about how much of a pain in the rear they are. WY- The tsetse fly has been eradicated from southern Africa. When I worked as an apprentice PH in Tanzania, we had lots of problems with the flies. T...

Blok,
As said earlier this week, well done to you, and to Blokkies!
I can't wait to start shooting my .204!

Cheers,
Eugene

Ramos,
Our beer is awesome, and you will definitely not be disappointed.
We drink Black Label (locally called Zamalek), and pee Budweiser!
