Mike Have been looking forward to your report, and the review of your 404 on safari. Will have to come down and have lunch and get the details in person.

 

[Nevada Mike]

Dave - still in transit (DFW) Will try to get started on a report by the weekend. Would be pleased to buy you lunch at the ‘Brothel.

Can't wait to see the 404J next to a Buff. Congratulations and welcome home.

 

[AZDAVE]

I will give you a call early next week and head your way.

Here is a photo of buff number two. One shot through shoulders at about 80 yards with 400 grain A Frame from the .404 Jeffery. ... he was hit hard and stumbled about ten or fifteen feet. Fired the insurance shot as he went down - missed, but he was done. PH Mike Angelides said the .404 killed buff as fast, or faster than the .416 Rigby. The rifle performed perfectly.

I will try to do a proper report over the weekend. Still unpacking and resting after the flight home.

Hi Mike, You used one of my favorite calibers and took a great buffalo, well done.

 

[Nevada Mike]

Thank you Lon... buffalo hunting is, I think, addictive.

More to come.

Excellent! Glad to see the old .404 J still doing well! It has an outstanding history. I fail to understand its lack of popularity these days especially since so many new cartridges are designed around it!

 

[Tokoloshe Safaris]

Mike, As you know both Buffalo and .404J's are very addictive.

Lon

Congrats on a great Bull! Looking forward to the report.

I had the same experience with my 404 in April, a very good cartridge on Buff!

My 404 Jeff and AFrames worked well for these two buffalo my son took end of September. He took the first one and had to keep hunting buffalo. The drop horn he hunted last was called the ghost. It had been hunted many times over the past few years by Jacques @JKO HUNTING SAFARIS clients and no one connected. They tracked it two days and finally outwitted him. It was quite the celebration. Unfortunately Taylor is obviously addicted to hunting buffalo now. I will get to a report but just been too busy.
