[QUOTE="Milepost, post: 1539081, member: 104022"] Spent some time in Africa many years ago but it wasn't for hunting. Tried to gather as much info as I could at the time. It's still on my bucket list. From what I gathered your right about hunters using the same calibers we use for similar sized deer species. However, there are some really big boys out there like the Eland that make an 1100 lb. bull elk look like runts... I'm thinking a 338 or 375 would work best for them. BTW - When traveling to Africa be sure to bring your fishing pole! I've also been told that the bird hunting is supposed to be pretty incredible over there too! [/QUOTE]
