So for the $4500 tusked hunt, do you get the tusks or is this strictly a cull hunt? That seems like such a great deal!

Shot and killed my Buff in 2015 with the 458 Raptor. All six pedals and the shank penetrated the other side! I left the rest with my PH and the killed a buff caught in a snare a week later. They claim to have shot it in the head and found the shank just under the skin in it's rump. These...

Maybe not, but that was a previous time. The .458 WM WAS used by many a park ranger as the go to rifle, and carried by many PH's over the years. I know when I took mine to Africa after Buffalo, I was the only client in camp, but my rifle wasn't the only .458 WM in camp! I don't think the...

That is a magnificent Buffalo!!! 44", nice boss', wow! Great job!

How long were his horns? He is huge!

I absolutely LOVE me some Steenbok!!! Mine was delicious, and now I am craving it yet again!

I carry an HK45C, which I believe to be a tack driver! I use the Raven Concealment holster which hides the gun well enough to carry to work even. It is .45 act, has a 8 or 10 round magazine, and is currently used by the Navy Seals. The reason I throw that did bit of info in this, is so you...

Which river will you be hunting? I just got back from Limpopo Region, and hunted the Elephant river. LOTS of hippo and hippo track! I would recommend this hunt for anyone wanting or looking into it as the area has huge hippo! Our guy working the salt shed is afraid of a hippo whom has made a...

I am probably going to make the switch eventually. Believe it or not the Hornady solids are hitting very close to point of impacts to my Raptors. I do plan on ordering the CEB solids though.

Top is my hunting Case knife. The bottom is my daily pocket knife.

So you can imagine now that the reminders are coming in to bring them some at DSC, Lol! I'm a fan boy now, sorry Hornady! I still use the Hornady solids, but for "expanding" it is now CEB Raptors.

My dream is achieved!

Just this morning I received a pic from Africa from my PH's Boss. I had left him a few of my loaded Raptors in .458 Win Mag. Yesterday he had to shoot a large buff caught in a snare. The only shot he had was head on, and the Raptor penetrated nearly 100% end to end! Here is the pic of the...

Your buff should be named Tea Kettle, as he has the handle and the spout, lol! He was a mean son of a gun for sure, so I would have called him that to his face while he was still standing though, Lol. He sure was wide with nice boss' as well, great job again!

That is some fine work! What a great caliber as well... You are right to be proud of that rifle!
