    I went hunting.

    Have wanted to hunt Africa since I was 10, so I did.

    Yes you did go hunting, well done @Tim. I think you also may have won the prize for most understated post of the year so far!

    Very cool, I like that Kudu. Did you take a rifle or borrow one over there?

    @stug when are we going?

    I was a tourist after, so elected to use the PH's rifle. Was a cool Musgrave in 308.

    The country was really cool. I'll find some more pics. It was all within a couple of hours of East London near the Kei.

    When you say costs are reasonable how much are we talking?
    "Hunting and fishing" fucking over licenced firearms owners since ages ago.

    My hunt, including flights could be done for 12-13k at recent exchange rates depending on if you just went for that, additional animals and being a tourist before or after adds costs.

    I went with KMG Hunting Safaris. Marius is fantastic and can tailor a hunt anywhere in Africa. Nick was my PH and he was excellent. https://huntsafaris.co.za/wp/
