I have the Safaris with cleat sole. Love them. Performed perfect in Tanzania and now wear them as everyday boots to work mostly on concrete floors all day.
With sadness I have decided to sell my 404 Jeffery. The only reason I’m selling it is because my dad and I have decided to partner up and buy a Krieghoff double in 375 flanged and I need some funds. I have made several modifications including installing a red pachmayr recoil pad, shortening...
I experimented with several recommended hand loads and liked the traditional velocity of 2150 the best. The buffalo below went 30 yards before collapsing after one shot with a 400 gr. Swift a frame.
Day 7: Last Chance
Wake call at 4:30am. I made a quick call to my wife Lisa. It was 8:30pm back home. I needed some encouragement. I told her we may be coming home from Africa with our asses kicked, tails tucked and the 2 most expensive warthogs anyone has ever killed. I told her at this point...
Day 6: The Curse Continues
Wakeup call at 5am again for an early start. We picked up some fresh dagga boy tracks crossing the road around 8am. It was a group of 3 bulls and looked promising. We spent the next 4 hours tracking them but never got close enough for a visual. Same story as...
Day 5: Gone With the Wind
Wakeup call at 5:00am. On the road by 6. The wind was swirling from the get-go and was relentless the entire day. We tracked buffalo for miles and miles and miles with no luck. The wind simply made it impossible to get close. If the wind was right for us to approach a...
Day 4: Soft Bossed Bulls
Today marked the halfway point in the trip. We had spent much of the last 3 mornings chasing wildebeest and warthogs. It was time to get serious about buffalo. We needed to get a bull down and take some pressure off the next few days. With that in mind we agreed to pass...
Day 3: The One That Got Away
Our morning started off the same as the first 2 days. After coffee and toast, we were off to look for buffalo. Our plan was the same as yesterday. We would slowly make our way to the dry riverbed only this time we would take a different route to cover new ground. We...
Day 2: Bacon for Breakfast
Wakeup call at 5:30 again. Same routine as yesterday. Coffee and toast by the lake then off to search for buffalo. The plan today was to make our way to a dry sand riverbed on the opposite end of the concession. It was an area they had been seeing buffalo regularly...
Day 1: A Perfect Start
Wakeup call was at 5:30am. We had coffee and toast for breakfast and then watched the sunrise over the lake. There was a small group of hippo that were making their way across the lake within a stone’s throw from camp. What a way to begin the morning.
Our game plan was...
