So I've got an opportunity to hunt three species of plains game in a week long trip. Kudu. Warthog and something else. I think it was springbok.
Republic of South Africa. They claim to have a BIG chunk of land to hunt.
A local travel agent has round trip at $1500.
I figure I could hunt all three critters and maybe even one more for about $8,000 total, if I wasn't crazy about the taxidermy and just brought home bleached skulls, along with maybe a "flat" skin or two.
For a rifle, I'd just take my good old .30-06 with the 6x scope and 180 gr Nosler Partitions. No need for anything more.
Comments? Concerns? I've never hunted Africa before, and this opportunity just sort of jumped up out of nowhere.
Thanks, Guy
