I killed the buffalo in my avatar, a sable ,and a waterbuck ,all with one shot with that load.

56 in 2016 for plains game. 2021 for buffalo.

I like the aisle so I can get up and walk around. You’re flying at night so you can’t see anything from the window anyway. I would not recommend flying from Johannesburg to Atlanta with a kidney stone, but hopefully you won’t have to deal with the brutality of that! Also, WEAR COMPRESSION SOCKS

My wifes Jack Russell. Pound for pound ……

Great thread. I hope you get to enjoy MANY more experiences with your mom.

I als had the bullet from my sable plated in gold and put a diamond in it to make her a necklace. That went over better.

I told my wife she could have the scrotum from my cape buffalo. She wasn’t impressed.

I agree. It’s just plain embarrassing to have an African themed trophy room like that without a Cape buffalo mount.

Full time pastor for 35 years. 15 years ago my wife and I started a training and boarding kennel . I eventually transitioned out of professional ministry ( but still haven’t retired). Now I train dogs for a living full time and help run the kennel.

Super nice! Congratulations

Check out Ken Moody Safaris. They can cover all those bases very well.

This is not mine. I found it online,but thought it was cool. We have a similar railing. Haven’t convinced my wife to copy the idea……yet.

I have some once fired .416 rigby brass I would be glad to send you if you want it. I don’t reload.

Thanks for the explanation buck wild. I learned something.

What do you mean by “... eyes level to the floor”? I don’t understand. I have never heard that.

I posted this on another thread,but it fits here too. I had the bullet (.416 Rigby) that was recovered from the sable I shot, gold plated and added the diamond. My wife loved it.

Sable at about three yards from a blind. We saw him and my PH had us run down wind to a water hole and get in a blind. After one or two minutes the PH peeked out of the blind on his side. “ He’s right here” he whispered. I said “ ok” Then he said urgently “ He’s right here! “ and pointed just...

I made a necklace from the bullet recovered from my sable. Barnes vortex .416 Rigby. I had it coated in gold and added the diamond . My wife loved it!

Super! Great old buffalo . Congratulations!

Shoot him in the ribs and whatever it does is not damaging good meat anyway. Have at.

Congrats on a good hunt and a good bull. I too hunted with KMS this year and agree with all you have reported. On my hunt the PH ( Chris) had me rest my rifle on his shoulder for the shot, as we were sitting on the ground under too much brush to put up sticks. That’s commitment! We had a great...

Great report! Looking forward to more..........

Wow! Congratulations on a great hunt. Wonderful trophies.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!

On the last day we didn’t have any opportunities at anything, but I was happy anyway. A few of us just drove around with beer and joked and talked. The final morning we took a group photo, hugged our new friends goodbye and got in the van. The trip home was brutal. Long, frustrating , and...

Report continued....... On about the fifth or sixth day I made a very il advised shot on a nyala. He was with cows and Chris said “ wait until he gives you his shoulder” I thought he meant that since the bull was with cows ,as soon as it was clear of the cows and I saw shoulder I should shoot...

Bullet in previous picture was retrieved from sable. 400 grain Barnes TSX

Report continued..... The official weight of the buffalo carcass was 445 kg. Chris said that would translate to around 800 kg. live weight. Horns measured 44 1/8 “. A grand celebration was at hand. The seven of us , several of whom had never met, were all , I think, genuinely thrilled with...

Excellent hunt! Congratulations!
