What African game have taken using a .22

You can do a lot with a .22 but then again there is a lot you shouldn't do. One of my first posts was about a poacher in east Africa who poached elephant with a .22 short. I didn't believe the stories until it was pointed out that it was verified!

I have taken Impala (head shots) with a .22 but nothing bigger. So stick to anything smaller and thin skinned. Why push it?

Know your limitations or get a bigger calibre.

HI all, here is a Short update on our America trip, I currently in Houston and have 2 more meetings here before movings North toward Oklahoma, Missouri and Iowa, and from there I will head to Colorado and Idaho,I have been met with great hospitality and friendship, and have met several new and old clients and we are going to book the rest of 2025 season quick and have several dates booked for 2026!
That's a wrap, on our first hunt of this years season.

Hunting conditions are a bit tougher in South Africa during the month of February, but can be just as rewarding if done right.
