All of it was excellent!

I reckon this is my favourite hunting adventure that I’ve read of on the forum! Congrats! Stoked to see a fellow bowhunter doing this kind of wild adventure!

Congrats! Super nice bushbuck! You’re not Australian, per chance?

Following with interest.

If you want good straight-line penetration then a Woodleigh Hydro or CEB Safari Solid is a great choice. For maximum damage and quicker kills, the soft points or TSX-type or CEB Raptors are the go.

In Australia, my M98 .300H&H has killed about 200 buffalo or so, plus other feral animals, mainly with 180 grain Barnes TSX, Woodleigh Hydros, CEB Safari Solids and Woodleigh PPSNs; but also with the 220 grain Woodleigh FMJs and RNSNs. When I took it to Africa I used 180 grain Woodleigh PPSNs...

I really like the 270 grain Woodleigh PPSN for plains game, it works beautifully. I took the 300 grain Woodleigh Hydros for giraffe and knew to adjust the scope three clicks down (and back up).

This is wonderful! Congratulations!

They’re beautiful photos!

I really enjoy trying to use a camera and sharing memories and encounters in nature. I have a humble little YouTube channel full of buffalo, Gouldian finches and heaps of other Australian creatures both native and non-native. It’s called Wild Nature Australia.

G’day Brian, Alex Jager (spelling?) is a member here and is definitely the best person to talk to, I don’t know him but he has an excellent reputation and I wholeheartedly recommend him. Plus his wife saved the life of our beautiful old dog once, so I am biased.

Got at least one buffalo with my Ruger No.1 in .300H&H; maybe a dozen buffalo and a few scrubbers with my Ruger No.1 in .450/400 3” NE; maybe half-a-dozen buffalo and two or three scrubbers with my CVA .54” percussion cap and roundball; and one buffalo with my .54” flintlock and roundball. Glad...

Mate, my copy of Ndlovu is in storage in Queensland! Hopefully middle of next year I’ll dig it out and send it down to you.

I tried to select all options except for problems. The only time problems arise is due to poor first shot placement.

Not usually, but it does happen. I’ve had to react quickly in self-defence a few times, in addition to shouting some down as well as having more time available in open country to shoot them inbound. In other words, sorting them out in the split second before they launch or as they commence...
