Good day All
Leaving for Zambia in 36 hours for my first DG hunt for Cape Buffalo. For some reason this feels different than any of the other hunts I have been on and not a hundred percent sure why.
I've done my homework, from reading many books on shot placement, endlessly watching YouTube videos on Cape Buffalo hunting, to shooting a couple hundred rounds of .375 H&H off the sticks from various positions(that went to crap a few weeks ago but I've worked through that thanks to the help from the guys here on AH). I won't be using my own firearms this time but I don't think that will be an issue. The only thing is I haven't been doing is walking the bush much after being an idiot and getting blisters a couple weeks ago (they have pretty much healed up now).
I've even contemplated taking up drinking to help with the jitters.
I am pretty sure I am ready and things will settle down once I am there but...
I am still up in the air on taxidermy if I am lucky enough to shoot a buffalo.
Thanks
