Russ GouldI think Zimbabwe is the one country that requires 9.3 (.366) or bigger for dangerous game. Most others require 375. Tanzania is one place I wouldn't take a chance, the game scouts can and do show up. If you are on private property (ie a fenced ranch) you can do whatever the PH lets you do.
