Great bull! Happy for you!

They’re such a special animal! Congrats!

G’day Randy, we shot a lot of big Australian buffalo and scrub bulls with this bullet, it’s definitely my favourite .375 bullet for these animals.

The only big bore bolt-action rifles I’ve owned that had zero feeding issues were my Sako Brown Bear in .500 Jeffery and my R8 in .375H&H.

What IVW said. I never used 535 grain projectiles in .500J, only 570 and 600 grain projectiles. I also enjoyed playing around with the 475? grain CEB Safari Raptors, but in simple hunting situations not stopping situations.

I have no experience with .458 Lott, but a lot of experience with the .500 Jeffery, which has noticeably more stopping ability than .375H&H, .416 Rigby, .450/400 3” NE, .458WM and even .500NE (on Australian buffalo and scrub bulls).

Love that book!

Super happy to see a question about trad! Nice! Have a look at The Push on YouTube, he is currently dropping some vids of his recent trip with Red Sands Safaris. What makes this particularly interesting is that the Outfitter/Owner/PH is a trad shooter and has set his property up specifically for...

Funny story: I did a course through work about staying mentally and physically healthy despite all the challenges. One of the things they said is that reading a novel simply for enjoyment (instead of only work-related reading) was a healthy thing to do. At that time I’d fallen out of my reading...

Just finished A Hunter-Gatherer’s Guide to the 21st Century, really excellent.

Loved the Sapiens book!

Green Eggs and Ham is one of my favourites!

Waterberg Mountains in Limpopo, you can do heaps of glassing in massive mountain and canyon systems. I photographed a 60” bull (estimated) with Chris Troskie in those mountains. Those mountains are every bit as wild as the Eastern Cape in my experience.

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!
