Quick Saturday Cull

Myself, G-Force, my dad, my girlfriend and another friend had to go sort out a couple of excess blesbuck rams and warthogs on a friend's property. Lila was up first with her .204, and managed to deliver excellent high neck shots angling into the brains of these two rams. First one at 176m, and the s...

Re: what is the biggest thing

Not a bad way to spend a Sunday. We culled a couple of warthogs on a friend's property. All but one was shot with my .204 with 40gr V-Max. The other one was shot with a .17HMR using 20gr Winchester HP's. Shots ranged from 50m to about 300m. https://scontent-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn2/t1.0-9/1032037...

Re: Lighting for night hunting

We use Lightforce 170 Riflemount lights fitted with rheostats. Works like a charm!

Killed 2 jackal last night at around 300y with this system.

Re: Jackal and Bushpig

Thanks Glen. You seem like the only guy interested in animals hunted in South Africa (Judging by the lack of response). This past weekend delivered 2 jackal, and a bushpig. All were killed with my .204 https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/1069933_204737626351579_1361979241_n.jpg Ol...

Bowhunt turns into cull

Hey Guys, So this past saturday, we went to a friend's property to look for a springbuck to shoot for my girlfriend. She was very keen, as this would be her first kill with the bow. She got a shot at one, but she was string jumped. Earlier the day, the property owner asked if we could also cull all ...

Re: Varmints in Southern Africa

This past weekend G-Force and myself and some other lads went looking for some jackal. This particular farm is notorius for excessive jackal over population. (Killed 44 in 3 nights so far) We only managed four jackal for various reasons (missed shots and rain/cold front/mist). The first one fell to ...
