i hunt. season just ended here.
open plains/semi desert means very little cover, so we pursuit with vehicles and typically shoot from the back of the pickup with a standing rest. a tracker on the back assists the driver and the shooter, especially with identifying targets in big herds. range is very far; between 75 and 200 meters, because you're always visible to the animals. you're lucky if you get a shot under 100 meters.
i use a .30-06 rifle, like the one in the photo. dual purposed and the rifle is very easy to handle. can take down smaller gazelle with minimal damage to the meat, up to game as big as 200 kg.
