I wanted to post a few pictures from my recent trip. It was great to get back to Africa. We spent about 5 days at a ranch in Limpopo catching up with friends and introducing a good friend to hunting Africa for the first time. Afterwards we went to a big 5 concession and hunted free range elephant. In 6 days we took two nice elephants and two great Buffalo on a 2 on 1 hunt. The hunting was quite frankly unbelievable.

I’m already slammed at work, and I made the highly questionable life decision to try to get married in the middle of hunting season in November, but I promise I’ll do some significant writing about this trip in the upcoming months.

For now here is a little teaser.

My friend’s elephant. The PH let us back each other up. How was my shot placement on the heart/lung backup shot?

.500/.416. Before this trip I was thinking about moving up to a .500 in the future, now I’m not sure. It’s an amazing round, and it’s a pleasure to shoot. I can shoot two shots just as natural as breaking a pair of sporting clays targets.
 
Congrats on a great hunt. Looks like you had a great time. Looking forward to the full write up.

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx
