Good stuff Karl!

Although, I am surprised by his bullet choice.
 
Love the writers style and very much enjoyed the story.
 
thanks for sharing! fantastic experience!
 
What an inspiring story!
One of these day...

Ps. Wish more national parks in South Africa would allow culling of excess animals, especially elephant.

A lot of parks do auction off trophy and cull hunting packages but not elephant

Shouldn't be. No need for solids in a .500 on buff. Maximum damage with similar penetration. Unless you are thinking VC still were regulated with Norma ammo.

No, I was referring to the DGX. I’m guessing that the hunter was using the new ones. The old ones had so many issues of breaking up.

The Normas or something else wouldn’t have surprised me, but it looks like it did the job well enough.

Great story, thanks for sharing. And congratulations to you and Karl and staff on your old buffalo, a true trophy.(y)
 
Thanks for sharing and congratulations to all involved! Can’t wait for the next instalment:)
 
Hi Desperatezulu

I was referring to the weight of the whole animal.

It’s neck was huge though

Regards
Hi Ronald - all good! I was being a smart arse. :giggle: And perhaps there was a comma there that I missed.
I thought maybe the neck weighed 90kg which would still be a big chunk.

Thanks for sharing the story!

Hallo Marius- do you have possibilities for stags in September during the roar? Where are your hunting areas in Romania?

I'm about ready to pull the trigger on another rifle but would love to see your rifle first, any way you could forward a pic or two?
Thanks,

Love your rifle! I'm needing a heavier rifle for Africa. Sold my .375 Dakota Safari several trips ago. Would you have any interest in a trade of some sort involving the custom 338/06 I have listed here on the site ( I have some room on my asking price. I also have a large quantity of the reloading components and new Redding dies as well as a box of A-Square Dead Tough ammo.
