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?

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

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!

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

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

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

kudu is getting? I estimated close to 50" but I am no expert in judging trophys! Here is another pic of him.

mmmh, not sure if he will make 50", but he is close. I'd say take him and measure him on the ground :-)

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

Awesome photos. Love it how the animals crossing the road all look at the camera with contempt. Its like they are saying what the hell are you staring at. Especially the buffalo
