Nah no worries, most was with a .270, pigs mainly the 30/30 but some with the 20ga sxs with slugs, monkeys .22 and 20ga, they are really challenging and clever prey, they learn so you have to hunt them differently each time!

'Note the crocodile in the photo os us swimming, only noticed that after we uploaded the photos at home!'

Brilliant Spud, the above reminded me of my only visit to South/Central Africa, I was on a day tour to white water raft the Zambezi by Vic falls....

broke off from the group to have a 'nosey around'.....walked over 2-300 yards along one bank, both feet wet, when i got back to the group, the guide pointed to a sign
saying 'Beware of the crocodiles'......a fukin shiver went right through me!!!!!!....dumb bastard...laugh about it now, of course....

of all the places iv seen and travelled too, ive ALWAYS wanted to go back to Africa, loved the place.....still might!

More fun then possums? Would a .22 be head shooting I take it.

If you do a really good stalk, normally the shotty cause they mostly running shots, I knew one guy who resorted to wearing his wifes dress to shoot them when they were raiding his vege garden because they could tell she wasn't a threat and wouldn't run when she went out to hang up washing, worked for a while until they worked it out!

Smart little shits. use the .270

Haha, yeah did that a few times! .223 would have been perfect but was such a mission to get new firearms there, just stuck with what I had.

could you get your hands on a AK-47?

No mate, semis and full auto rifles are a no go, did carry a full auto R5 in the police reserve though. You can buy an illegal one for about $20 but that is risking a lot!

Awesome pics and commentary Wicked and isn't amazing where Kiwis get too !! That's great thanks love those pics Cheers

Cheers Happy, I am originally from there, glad you enjoyed them!

Oh shit, Didn't expect that from all the movies lol

Toby, each firearm has its own license, not like here where the operator is licensed and you can buy what you want.

Having said that, getting hold of illegal arms in SA is scarily simple

It is possible to own semi-auto, but not for hunting. I had one for 3-gun IPSC.

Re the monkeys and baboons, the ones in Cape Point nature reserve are bloody cheeky. They know all about rifles, the moment you pick up a stick and point it at them like rifle, they run like hell

Brilliant photo's and write up SA. Africa is still on my to do list.
