Head shot and spine shot Question on broadside cape buffalo.

[Brian]

I am looking for actual, factual, proven instructions on successfully making the brain shot and/or also the spine shot on a cape buffalo from the side, not the front of the buffalo.
Where exactly is the right place to aim for both shots and a broadside buffalo?

Honestly, I don't want to know whether you agree with this shot or even if you like it. I respect your opinion but am not asking for it.

Please, I would be very grateful if you can tell me if you have successfully taken either and specifically where exactly did you place the bullet as viewed from the shooters position.

Thank you in advance for your constructive help/instruction. Brian

I did neck/spine twice on my last TZ trip; just ahead of the shoulders 1/2 way up up the neck. Both buffalo were DRT.

That is what I hoped to hear, Thanks. Some of the diagrams vary bit.
I have killed quite a few buffalo but have never had the confidence to try the neck shot.
Some times it would be the best shot if the brush blocks the shoulder.

I appreciate your clear post very much!! Brian
