[QUOTE="Bret GRAVELINE Graveline, post: 1751864, member: 108926"] I haven't read the entire thread so if this has been covered my apology, I've traveled to the dark continent four time, I spent the better part of our summer they're hunting season one year, I was apprehending to be a ph for plains game, I was not cut out to be a ph, to many nambi pambi city dwelling hunters that were only interested in killing nothing but gold medal animal rather than enjoying the hunt, I watched hunters walk up to a animal with tape measure in hand to let the tape inform them if they were happy or not, and if they weren't they'd head to the vehicle and pout, not for me, the ph i studied for had been doing it for over 20 years at that time, one of our clients had shot a eland with a 33-378 weatherby using 200 grain nosler bt's it took several hits to be put down, would not have been my first choice, the photos told then me then that in all his years only one client had put down and a eland with one shot, that client had been shooting a old 3006.
