"Dad, my favorite hunting show is Tracks Across Africa."

I must be doing something right!
 
Woo hoo! Get him started young. That's great.
 
Yep, and the fact that he has a favorite must mean he watches more than one..
 
Phil, that is going to become very expensive! Look forward to the hunt report!

Safari Journal, Africa with Craig and Ivan, Expedition Safari and Jim Shockey's show....... but that's all.

If I go poor taking my boys to Africa, well..... I guess it beats going poor in any other way.
 
I'm right there with you Phil. My son is 10 and we never miss Tracks Across Africa, Africa with Craig and Ivan, Jim Shockey or Eastman's Hunting Journal. I record all of them on the DVR so we can watch them together.

He's only 10 and he already has his "top 5" picked out for Africa. Kudu, Gemsbok, Impala, Zebra and Blue Wildebeest.

My youngest is fifteen..just send yours over for a holiday! He'll take them out hunting and they can teach him to talk funny..!:D:cool:
 
Hey Phil,

I am happy to hear that there is a younger generation in the pipelines as well.....

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci
Philippe

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
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.
