i think you can take 200 rounds per rifle. should i bring the full 200? i am only intending on bringing my 308.
What animals are you shooting and how many?
You will use some checking zero when you get there, plus your animals, you may also knock your rifle and have to re zero. This can be easily done going through thick bush. You don't want to be out there, knock your rifle and by the time you have re zero'd you don't have any ammo left to shoot your animals.
I think 200 is a bit excessive. I think i took 60 and shot them all. However i entered a shooting competition while i was out there, did some long range target plinking and went after vermin, etc.
As for the ticks - some good advise has been given. I did not take any repellant with me, i just gave myself a good once over each evening and morning to be sure. However, next time i will take some as its not worth the risk.
Also, don't be afraid to tell you PH what you want from your trip. He is there to make sure you are safe and find all your animals, but also to ensure you have a good time. When i went our PH was brilliant, he would ask if everything was as expected and if there was anything they could do for us. He would invite other PH's round in the evenings and we would all get around the camp fire with beers in hand swapping stories and having a laugh.
Do some research on the animals you are hunting - shot placement, expected shot distance, terrain they will be hunting in, research suitable ammo for the quarry.
Practice shooting off sticks before you go, but also shooting reasonably quickly off sticks. They won't always hang around for a shot or you may have to take one as the animal moves between cover.
Your PH will look after you and ensure you have a great trip.
Having fun is the most important thing and i have no doubt you will.
