Tomjac,
if it is not specifically a shot placement guide you are looking for, then have a look at Burger Cillie's "The pocket photoguide to Mammals of Southern Africa"
It is a great little book which we isuue to our hunting association members. It has a picture of the crittur, a small range map, spoor, id tips and general information on habitat,food, mass, vocalisation, breeding cycles, trophy parameters (RW and SCI) etc

I know they have them on www.leisurebooks.com do a search under Burger Cillie. Cost is a bout R75 (=/- $12)

African Hunter's Shot Placement Guide gets my vote.



I like this one too.
Yet better, in my opinion is the "Pocket-Guide to Southern African Mammals", by Burger Cillie..
It contains more information on habitat etc, and covers all the Southern African countries..
BTW, Tomjac, I`ll fill in a hunting report with photos from Namibia, on Sluttstykke, if you`re interested.

Please do so; I'm more than interested in that. I will make room on the main page as well if you want me to.

Have you been there already, or are you soon leaving? I'm leaving for South Africa (Easter Cape) this November and returning to Namibia next April.

BTW, I put in an order for all the above mentions guides.

That sounds good! I`ll send you a pm regarding the report.
I`ve been in Africa twice. South Africa 2001 and Namibia this July.. The last hunt was great! Hunted with Boet Nel via Sparta.. Good hunting and good trophies!
