Dude it is simple really - if you tried that trick on our farm, you would have had your bags packed and the "bakie" would be idling, ready to take you back from whence you came.
Ego shots and big game hunting don't go hand in hand in Africa - that simple.
"Son" it IS really simple, there is NO trick, just 30 plus years of extreme long range precision shooting at distances you can not likely comprehend.
I would suggest that if you were to witness 1st hand what I can do with a rifle, and the rifle that I shoot you may change your tune.
If you should want to become "enlightened" come over the Rock Pile and I would be happy to school you.
How you feel unleashing MORE kinetic energy than a 460 Wby has at at the muzzle and a far higher velocity at a 1 ton animal and killing every animal taken in the last 15 years with 1 shot is a trick eludes me.
FYI the 325 gr custom made bullet I killed this eland with travelled over 5 feet through the animal.
To say I take my hunting seriously is a gross understatement.
My ammo is fully tested in the field on cattle (I own some) rather than phone books or gelatin so I know what the bullet is capable of, my ammo is all case weighed, and each charge is weighed to the 1/100 th of a grain. Each bullet is weighed to the same weight. The bullets I shoot are custom made to function in best possible manner for my particular rifle, caliber and velocity. They are designed specifically for long range hunting performance.The rifle very capable of 1/4 moa consiatant groups.
My yearly ammo cost exceeds many guys gross annual income. My rifles tend to cost what some new cars do.
How many of your clients show up in country with a portable wind station, laser range finder, spotting scope with calibrated reticle?? Set up targets in 100 yard increments to 1000 yards and confirm their comeups IN the country in which they are about to hunt in??
And can shoot flying fowl with a rifle??
NOT your average hunting rifle ????
You should try this, it takes some skill to head shoot em on the wing AND it is real good fun.
Please note shot placement on what was charging at us. I went to RSA for a plains game hunt, this is NOT normally considered plains game I believe. My PH could not even get his rifle up and on her before I had her skidding, so don't give me the PH knows everything crap. I will grant PHs like every other trade have good 1s and some that are totally inept.
So what was the name of your outfit??
