Good stuff Karl!

Although, I am surprised by his bullet choice.
 
Love the writers style and very much enjoyed the story.
 
thanks for sharing! fantastic experience!
 
What an inspiring story!
One of these day...

Ps. Wish more national parks in South Africa would allow culling of excess animals, especially elephant.

A lot of parks do auction off trophy and cull hunting packages but not elephant

Shouldn't be. No need for solids in a .500 on buff. Maximum damage with similar penetration. Unless you are thinking VC still were regulated with Norma ammo.

No, I was referring to the DGX. I’m guessing that the hunter was using the new ones. The old ones had so many issues of breaking up.

The Normas or something else wouldn’t have surprised me, but it looks like it did the job well enough.

Great story, thanks for sharing. And congratulations to you and Karl and staff on your old buffalo, a true trophy.(y)
 
Thanks for sharing and congratulations to all involved! Can’t wait for the next instalment:)
 
Hi Desperatezulu

I was referring to the weight of the whole animal.

It’s neck was huge though

Regards
Hi Ronald - all good! I was being a smart arse. :giggle: And perhaps there was a comma there that I missed.
I thought maybe the neck weighed 90kg which would still be a big chunk.

Thanks for sharing the story!

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

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
