Fire department

Any one in particular?

I really like Boer War stuff, I want to go to that museum now

I wonder how long it'll be before Border War stuff is considered racist and banned

What's the story on that Thompson?

That thompson is likely from WWII. Probably some South African soldier got it when deployed in north Africa or Italy.

Question, where exactly is Limpopo?

Just north of Gauteng

My cousin's going on a hunting trip there, what kind of stuff lives there?

Basically the top of south Africa bordering Zimbabwe

Nothing really just people

Must be something because he's taking a large gun with him

I don't think people are usually deserving of a .458 Win Mag

Lol normally thats what you take when going hunting

I mean people don't usually need a .458 to put down, animals might

Will probably see the usual antelopes and such.

Just checked his email he sent me, apparently wildebeest too

Some nice meat on that yea

Hope he's not hunting anything exotic though as that earns foreign hunters a very bad reputation.

Been several incidents of foreigners hunting lions then posting pictures on social media which earns them some serious backlash and honestly rightly so... Not a fan of people hunting lions and other exotic animals.

As for bucks go ahead no problem with those as make a good meal.

From his email:
Cape Buffalo
Sable
Nyala
Black Wildebeest
Blue Wildebeest

With a company called Dinkwe Safaris

April 2020.

Those are all run of the mill game animals nothing special

Well atleast whatever he's hunting he's gonna get a good peace of meat

If I recall he wanted to get one of those heads mounted, don't recall which one though

Anyone works I guess

Well if it's his first hunt in SA then he must abide by this tradition ☝ https://www.reddit.com/r/WTF/comments/a22eca/guy_goes_on_a_hunt_and_singlehandedly_carries_his/

Oh hes gonna get some blood and guts 😂

This ain't his first rodeo.

Did he do it in SA

And taking an .458 Will be overkill for everything but the buffalo

Yep, he does all his African hunts in SA

Ah ok lol

He wanted to do it in Kenya but their laws suck apparently

Go to Tanzania. My uncle handles the hunting part there

He's not sure if he'll have the money to go again after this trip, he retires in five years. He wanted to finish his African hunts with the 5 he most wanted to get.

Oh okay

He works at a print shop so he's not a rich man, he's been saving for years.

Hey a job is a job

He's got a hell of a gun collection, but he's left handed so I can't shoot most of his bolt-action hunting rifles.

Lol. Atleast he has something to look at

What animal is this?

Koedoe

Those are some badass horns

Its a beast.

I'm left handed but shoot right handed (right eye dominant)

I shoot right and im right handed

I shoot right handed, but this guy puts left handed stocks on all his hunting rifles (you can see it in one of the pictures), so you can't hold the rifle correctly if you're right handed

Yea I see

Moer mooi koedoe

Dis kak om so mooi ding te skiet

Ja but that's how we get biltong.

Yea. Shit happens

But I do agree. Hence why I'm not in favour of hunting for sport. If it's for consumption then it's not a problem.

The animals need to die naturally.

Lol

Well it depends what you classify as natural death in the bush 😉

Every day lions, cheetahs, leopards and hyena make kills to survive. That's the natural order of things in the wild.

That's what the majority of animals die from. a minority die from illness and old age.

Some say the also die naturally from a bullet

But like I don't hunt for sport. I hunt cause its my family's tradition to hunt

I'd say they're misinformed. Not natural to die from a bullet but sometimes necessary in some specific cases such as wild boars tearing up agricultural land.

Culling is a necessary practice at times. Of course necessary for us not necessary for the animals.

And cause biltong is lekke

Agreed. I'm on the same boat in that regard. I cannot stand trophy hunters. But hunting for food is a valid and decent job it is what puts food on the table after all. Hell even the Khoisan and Bantu would hunt if the opportunity arose.

Agreed

Is it true that Malema is secretly a gay communist furry, or is that just a lie spread by the alt-right

Never heard that, but that's hilarious.

Funny but I have no idea

He certainly seems like a commie.

Wasn't Mandela in the communist party?

SACP yup.

The anc and eff are communist so yea
