I've been enjoying some episodes of Peterson's Hunting Adventures, of which Craig Boddington is one of hosts.
Something occurred to me out curiosity. What would someone like Craig do with over 100 buffaloes hunted? This isn't meant to be in an accusatory tone. I congratulate him and anyone who has gained that kind of experience. I'm just curious, does he actually keep all the trophies or would he donate them or auction them or something? Maybe this information is out there but searching something like "Craig Boddington buffalo trophies" is not going to narrow the results much.
As I was thinking about posting this, the following came up on screen. Another curiosity question: why mount a red dot far back on a cantilever like this? Unlike Buffalo hunting, I can at least claim to have mounted and used several different red dots on various firearms. I suppose there's personal preference about how much the optic fills one's view. I just have a hard time picturing the benefit of the setup Craig has here. But I know he's experienced and probably has a reason. And presumably with a double rifle for a Mozambique buffalo hunt, he wasn't constrained by using whatever he could afford for $30 from a local big box store.
