Nice! Gun or bow? How many days? Let's get the report.
Thanks

 

[Peter Larsson]

Hunted with rifle.
Not so much to say about the hunt.
Just shot the buff with a 45 degree frontal shot at 6m when he jumped out of the bush.
Jumped around like a rodeobull and I shot once more low in the rump when he kicked
backwards.That shot broke the back bone and went thru the buff and was found under the skin
in the front opposite side. He dropped like hit by the thunder,did a few deathroar and were dead.
Everything was over in about 2-3 seconds.
Used 270gr Barnes in 375HH

"6m"!!! Yikes that must have been exciting! All fine looking trophies! Where did you hunt and who with?

 

[Witold Krzyżanowski]

Awesome stuff, look forward to a report

Were you stalking that particular Buffalo? Was he facing towards or away from you when he first got up? Six meters does not permit a lot of time to react especially if he's coming towards you. I'm looking forward to your detailed report and hopefully a video of this encounter.

No,there were five buffs there. Two how should be bigger than the other. I don't care what buff I shot.
The hunt is more important than the trophy. We spooked them a couple of times but could not se them because they were in a VERY tight bush. After some hours one of them ran towards us of some reason and when he passed us at some meters
he saw us and tried to change direction towards us but than he already had him in the scope and shot him in front
of the shoulder thru the heart and broke the shoulder of the exit side.
It was nice of him to die so quick or else there could have been problems!

Sounds like a great hunt, tell us more

 

[CAustin]

Must have been a very accurate shot to put him down so quickly with a 375! Congrats again.
