What bullet type and size do you spin from a hunting handgun?

I've written reports on my two opportunities to hunt South Africa so all ya all can read them for better details-But we have taken my .300wm remington 700, my Sako .375 wby and my pre 64 winchester .30-06 model 70. All handloaded ammo-the .300 as I recall we used the original 200 gr. trophy...

The savage rifle in .223 and ballistic tip in Wyoming prairie dog.

I went out this morning since the temps were agreeable and shot some long ish range. I like to shoot jugs filled with water for several reasons. Excited to go deer hunting later this month!

Kept the skull and sent the hide to be rugged-here are some others that might be of interest including the big one I really wanted but he was nocturnal😞

Not legal on my spike tags😞 And some weird things my trail cams caught

Mostly .17 hmr or .223 with 55 gr ballistic tips or 65 gr gamekings. But I’ve done afew with archery and bigger rifles when opportunity comes loping along. Cougars and bobcat have all been archery. . .

Not going to try and remember them all but my first was a mulie with a marlin .30-30 and open sites. Also here is my daughters first buck with a 7mm-08 and federal 120 gr factory loaded fusion. My nephews first with my 7mm-08 and 150 gr ablr. And my best one, Hoyt carbon element compound bow. A...

Only one I ever took was with a bow. Passed several over bait and we trees some with dogs but the one I took was over water while hunting elk. ( I had a multi season tag)

.30-06 165 gr grand slam .300 wm 180 ab 7mm-08 150 ablr, 145 grand slam .270 grand slam, core lokt, accubond Most of these have been cow tags or spike bulls. Can buy an otc cow or spike tag for archery so most of mine have been archery kills including a limited entry tag that produced a 350 bull...

African or exotic? For exotic just visit Texas and start with axis deer. In africa I would start with eland, kudu and impala

Some pix from this past weekend-

First was with a compound bow. 7mm stw 160 accubond .30-06 165 grand slam 7mm-08 150 ablr .338, we were field dressing his buck and another came in to investigate so I used my buddies rifle to shoot mine. . .

The beauty of African meats are two fold-first is that they aren’t gamey. Second is that they are cooked over real wood, never briquettes or gas. It is even better than your smoker can do. That said-eland filet is the best meat I’ve ever had. It tastes similar to beef but is more tender...

I keep trying to download your pix but can’t seem to make it happen-maybe you could post them up for us🙂

Mountain goat with a .300 wm and 180 gr Accubond. Shot was 300 yards and he dropped with a shot through the spine as I hit him higher than expected. That was a great adventure!

You should consider a javelina hunt combined with quail in Arizona. Check out globe Indian reservation. 45-70 or a handgun on pig would be fun and quail and doves are delicious and wonderful hunting-

I think most people shoot 4 or 5 of their most desired trophies in 5 or 6 days so their s/h is not outrageous. I like to pull the trigger and I love to have the animals in my house so I am twice afflicted. Once they are home I just get One mounted when I can afford it-not all at once for sure...

One of the costs most people don’t consider when planning a safari is getting all those horns and skins back home. One month and four days after we got home, the South African taxidermy company e mailed me a cost break down for dip and pack and crating. The total is $1680.00 which I wire...
