I`m so tired of cold weather - taht I have decided to travel to South Africa next week.
I will cull impala.
My TC`s "have been hiding" for a long time now - because I "found out" that a TC was more or less a rifle (some years ago) - and therefor I have used my revolvers.

This time - I will shoot at long distances - so the rifle in 30-30 will be loaded with Nosler 150 gr. BT and Hornady SST 150 gr.

A single-horned waterbuck who is going in the same area - has also my name - written on his shoulder

You been hittin the bottle? Makes no sense whatsoever. Explain with more detail what you mean.

Good luck, sounds like fun to me.

Don't know the range. But up the anty on bullet weight if you can.
Sounds like a great time.
Good luck!!!

Good luck to you shadob!! We are expecting a full report and lots of pictures!

Finally I got home to winter and snow
When I got into SA - it was not a cullhunt I should do - but a hunt after bad genetically impala - and the horns was high as trophies.
And I can assure you - that this type of hunt not is simple.


I shot 10 impala with Hornady SST 150 gr. and 3 impala with Nosler BT 150 gr.

Nobody ran more than 60-70 yds. – if they didn`t fall down where they stood.
Shootingdistances was 80-160 yds.

I also shot one Nyala at 90 yds – and it ran 50 yds.
Also a Waterbuck “met” the SST at 120 yds – and ran about the same distance.

I borrowed a Ruger Blackhawk with open sights - which colours were silver – but they worked The warthog was shot through the heart at 30 yds – and jumped higher than a springbuck.
Runningdistance: 10 yds.

Within this huntingyear - I have used my RSH 44 Mag, FA 454 and my TC in 30-30, with 33 good placed shots.
And that amount of animals without a bad shot - is the first time for me.

Maybe I shall do as athleticstars do?
Finish the "game" when I`m on top

Where are the pictures??????? We want to see your handiwork!

I am stupid as a cow - and have not learned me how to.

I have already written an article in norwegian with pictures.
I can send it to you - and maybe you have a program for translation?
PM with your e-mailadr.

If you email me the photos, I can post them here.

Done!

Standby!

Here you go! Shadob can tell you the details!

Congratulations on the very successful hunt, shadob!

Thanks!

In the area it was two Nyala and one Waterbuck - with one horn - which the owner wanted to take out.

The one-horned males - do more damage than the twohorned when the bulls are fighting.

As you can see - I found two of them

Sounds like too much fun to me! Congratulations on a great trip. Nice pics too.

God Bless, Louis

Whitworth pasted the pictures for me.
Thanks!

Next trip is in April 2011.
Do you want to join me

VERY NICE!!!!!
Congrats.
I love my T/C pistols and you have proven once again the 30-30 is a killer.
Good shooting!
