I am back from my Namibia hunting trip. This was my first time in that country, but not my first time in Africa. I took my 9.3 x 64 and 308 Baer on this trip. Once on the hunt, all shots were taken with the Baer. The country was everything I expected with most shots presenting themselves at over 250 yards. These photos are about half the animals taken. The hunt was a "cull hunt", so the trophy quality varied but Johan, the PH was committed to getting at least one good animal of each species. For some reason, the longer shots tended to be smaller animals, but there were some very nice animals on the properties we hunted and some great trophies were taken this trip:
Hunters accommodation
Gemsbok in the distance
First animal of the hunt - gemsbok at 340 yards
Trophy gemsbok taken at 350 yards
Springbok taken at 375 yards
Springbok taken at 435 yards
Springbok taken at 518 yards
Trophy steinbok.
Recovered 180gn Accubond bullets - weights left to right 111gn, 109gn and 123gn
Typical Namibian Kalahari countryside
