Hey everybody, I'm campaigning for myself and need some help. I entered a photo contest for a trip to hunt with Liam Urry. Somehow it is a finalist. So, I am trying to gather votes and I figured I'd ask. I'm new to this forum so I apologize if this is not allowed or frowned upon. If you would like help me out and to vote please go here:https://www.africahunting.com/threa...ers-from-liam-urry-safaris-for-2017-18.38577/
You just post your pick of the photos. Mine is the first picture. You will need to have been a member prior to the 14th for your vote to be counted. The finalists are posted on page 40 of that thread. I am trying to post the pictures but I'm doing this on my phone so it's not working well.

The picture is of the pack of dogs we used on a caracal hunt on our first (but not last) trip to South Africa. My girlfriend snapped the photo. We were actually hunting a problem cat that was a known lamb killer. He would eat a lamb almost every night. The dogs struck off of his last kill and caught him on the ground. The tom was so fat and lazy that the race only lasted about 15 minutes. Very exciting, running as fast as we could to keep up with the hounds. A good ending where everyone was happy, saving some lambs and a successful hunt on a difficult animal.


I appreciate all those that help and my buddy will even more. If I win, I plan on taking him. He hasn't even been on a plane so this would be a huge event. Thanks again.

James

Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.

Have twice tried to post something that your site canned as "SPAM" or some problem.. "Contact the Administrator"... Not sure why even the "Contact" button would not send my comment so you only received my query but not the content in question. I'll see if I can get it to you this way... NOPE I use a VPN and perhaps that is causing me grief...
