I just got back from an amazing free range buffalo hunt in South Africa. My wife and I hunted with Ernest Dyason and @Spear Safaris in the Greater Krueger area, where I was able to harvest 3 buffalo with my .500 NE double rifle (first for me with double) and my wife shot her first buffalo with a .375 H and H. All of these bulls were set 12 plus years old and we saw tons of buffalo. They ranged in size from right at 36 inches to a whopping 44.5 inch bull! If you are interested in hunting Greater Krueger or other countries like Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Botswana and the list goes on, get with Ernest you won't be disappointed. He is a sponsor here or pm me for his contact info. I will be posting pics of each buffalo in this thread.

Excellent genetics in that area and some old ones for sure. Well done. Which one is hers?
 
Here is hers, 1 shot to the heart I couldn't be more proud

Wow, some beautiful bulls taken, congrats to both of you.
 
It was my understanding that the LEGAT areas (Timabavati and Umabet etc ) around Kruger were limited to hunting "management type" old bulls 36" and under. And so far, the pictures corroborate this.
I'm interested in seeing the 44" stud. (y) (y)

yes had a 36, a 37, a 39 and 1 unlimited bull which was the 44.5 inch but for those they try to target at least 12 year olds.
 
well done sir
ernest is a solid guy and a really good operator
 
Beautiful drop on your bull and love the helmet on your wife’s bull. Congratulations!

Nice Report! Im about to pull the trigger on booking the LDE with Patrick. I have been talking about it with him for about 3 yrs now. Romain hit me up the other day with an offer I can't refuse for 2027.

Andrew, I commented that your on 375 H&H for sale was the fair price.

Like I commented, my classic stainless has the original 24” barrel.

Did you buy yours with the barrel already cut down to 21” or did you do it (or a gunsmith)?

You might have edited your post on the PH in the Bubye. I know the PH and is a wonderful person and a fmaily man and runs a succesful business in Zim and just doesn't want the attention that the internet offers, the ugly kind.
