Beautiful animals. I take it from the shadow stripes on the plains zebra that you were in either South Africa or Namibia. I took a Hartmann's (mountain) Zebra in Namibia in 2007 with my Sako .338; now I'm getting antsy to return to take a plains Zebra so I'll have a "set".

Sakos and Africa go well together. I wish that more folks here on the Forum would post their African photos (as well as their hunting photos from other parts of the world.)

Thanks Stonecreek.

Yes, RSA. Limpopo province on the correctly identified Burchell's zebra, and Kudu.

I agree that Sakos and Africa go together. I carry a Sako here in the US and nobody knows what it is.

I went to Africa and my lead outfitter and PH had two: one in .375 and one in .270. I shot both of them on the range and they felt just like home to me.

I'll try to post one more picture ( I have many )

Thanks.

He died in 1976 and I've had his hunting jacket ever since.

He could never have dreamed his coat would end up in Africa. He was an old time Italian who hunted rabbits every day of the season in Michigan until he died at 74 y.o. No joke, every day of the season without fail. I think the rabbit season in Michigan is like four months long too! He was something else.

Thanks for your comments. That one picture means an awful lot to me.

Great pics...there is something about Africa you cant experience anywhere else. Here are some pics of my son and I ....Hunted in Kwa-zulu Natal South Africa and my pet 375.

Is that an AV Sporter?

 

[bossmustangace]

Baugust,

Only two of the pictures came through for some reason. Maybe you can try to post some more.

Great pictures of blue wildebeest and impala ram!

How big was the wildebeest? Did you measure it? The bosses look old and "bulgy" like I like them. Well done.

I also hunted in Kwa-zulu Natal. I loved it. Were you in the Drackensburgs?

Feel free to post more here if you like.

Thanks for the input,

Bossmustangace

Your 7mag and mine are exactly the same
