    No advice, but enjoy the hunt.

    So two years on, my rifle is lisenced in my name, my date for the hunt confirmed and two of my close friends invited.
    I hope the Kalahari is not to cold end of July!

    Captivity bred lion on a vast hunting ground. I have to stick to shooting a female specimen this round.

    Have not been this excited since I was a teenager!

    My ammo will be Remington loaded 400grain Swift-A-frames.

    My SAKO/Truvelo 416 Remington will be scoped with a 1-6x24 Vortex scope in Warne QD mounts with illuminated reticle. I have the same setup currently on my 8x57 Amberg to practise with.

    The 2-3 day hunt hunt is on foot, expecting to walk a lot. Apart from comfortable shoes, hat, backpack and a gun what would you suggest I pack? I am walking a lot in the estate lately as well as jogging a bit.

    The hunt is in six week.

    Managed to down the Lion yesterday morning. Still running high on adrenaline. Have really been coming to terms with how little you must do wrong to end up injured or dead during a lion hunt.

    Few people realize just how scary, and dangerous, a big cat is up close. Congratulations.
