Bud, did you get a chance to eat any Eland?? We had a roast while in camp and it was killer good.

Troy: Had a filet from my Eland. It was excellent but my favorite is still Gemsbok filet wrapped in bacon, stuffed with cheese cooked over mopane coals.

We had Impala Wellington that was outstanding. Old man that was the cook did it all in a small wood burning stove. Amazing.

For the Eland and Waterbuck I shot a camp Mauser in 8 X 68 mm, shooting 200 grain TSX handloads. For everything else, I used a suppressed camp Ruger 77 Tactical Rifle in .308 shooting 150 grain TSX handloads. Both rifles had Leupold vari -X III scopes.

Bud, I'm guessing you chose to not take yer own guns and use camp guns?
Our guns/ammo/clothes got lost on arrival and showed up seven days later. We had to borrow guns/ammo/clothes. As the Zims say, we made a plan.

Troy: It's so much easier using camp guns. I carry on my binos, range finder and two changes of clothes, and don't have to worry about baggage pilferage in JoBerg or lost bags in the USA. My PH has excellent rifles and I really like his suppressed Ruger .308- it's like shooting a .22.

Your PH has better guns than ours did. I killed a zebra with a 100 year old Mauser rifle in 6.5X57 we borrowed. We did get a Sako in 375H&H but ammo was spotty. Wife wore Teva flip flops the first seven days!!!!! Only clothes I had was what I wore on the plane.

I might be able to one day afford the hunt, but I don't I'll ever be able to afford the taxidermy bill. Those are some beautiful animals.
Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

The costs add up but you can spread the money over time. First you pay for the airfare and hunt. Then 6-12 months later ya pay for shipping the trophies home at, say $2000, then pay tanning pretty soon and spread the taxidermy over a couple of years. Dosen't hurt as bad.
One can hunt South Africa on package hunts pretty cheap, under $10,000 all in for the hunt and airfare.

My hunt in Namibia was cheaper than a western elk hunt. Roundtrip airfare was $1225 on British Airways. Daily rate was $300/ day X 8 days= $2400. Trophy fees were $2000 for Waterbuck and $2200 for Eland. Baboon and Jackal were free. European Mounts are $330 and shipping will be around $500. That comes to a total of $8655, plus a tip for the Professional Hunter and the Camp Chef.

I wish had gotten a vertebrae from my wife's giraffe. We did get the shin bones and skull plus the cape. It's next in line for a shoulder mount.

I went to a house the other day and they had a mountain zebra, and also the neck vertebrae and head of a giraffe. With other things. The woman that killed all of it travels to Africa yearly( if I remember correctly) Hmm .. I'm thinking we need pics and relationship status of said woman!
