NorwegianhunterPlain games hunting in Kwalata.
Hello.
I went too South Africa for some times, I stay at Kwalata Wilderness in the Waterberg mountain, with Outfitter Reinhard Heuser, the owner of Kwalata. They have a very fine plain games hunt. I put in some pictures form my hunts:
Impala with a 20" trophy, my first African trophy. shot with a Sauer 202 Caliber 3006 with a 180 grs Rhino Bullets, shot it on a close range, about 60 yards.
My next trophy was this Blesbok 17" trophy, shot with the same rifle as above at 120 yards.
My third trophy was a very fine Kudubull with a trophy nearly 57" shot with the same Sauer rifle at 280 Yards
The PH at this hunt was Bhotes van de Merve
I got this Bushpig wile we were tracking a worthog, shot at 40yards The PH was Bart Visser.
The next trophy was this 22" Impala shot at 40 yards Just me and tracker very fine hunt
This Blue wildebeast got three rounds of 180 grs Rhino the first at 150 Yards, next from behind at 200 yards and the third at 220 yards when it stoppet, all three rounds were good shot, but the wildebeast was hard.PH were Bradley Warren
A Zebra shot at 40 yards With PH Jaques Kellermann
Warthog shot at close range with sako Finnbear 375 H&H Mag, and 270 Rhino bullet. OH and Outfitter Reinhard Heuser at Kwalata Wilderness
A very nice Waterbuck shot at 80 yards with Sako Finnbear 375 H&H Mag and 270 Grs Rhino Bullet. PH and Outfitter Reinhard Heuser. Sorry about the last pictures.
and at last a very very fine Impala with a trophy at 23,5" look at the face of it.
also shot with the Sako Finnbear hunted with Outfitter and PH Reinhard Heuser
Kwalata Wilderness is a very fine hunting farm, with a very dood service in all matters
The last hunts i used a Sako Finnbear in caliber 375 H&H Mag the bullett var a 270 grs Rhino bullet.
These rifle is very accurat with maximum loads, and a pleasant too shoot with

DC RoxbyThanks for the great pictures. Looks like you had a very good hunt. Some great animals and that kudu especially is a real beauty!

I don't shoot elk at 600 yards for the same reasons I don't shoot ducks on the water, or turkeys from their roosts. If this confuses you then you're not welcome in my hunting camp.

bwanamrmCongrats on some great trophies and welcome to the AR forums!
On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling
