To hunt Hippo or not?

Thank you sir.
 
RIGHT ON JOHNNY!!!!!
 
Ok everyone, my decision is with the majority of the forum. Buffalo and hippo it stays.
I'll bet it was that charging video [emoji12] . It certainly got me excited about hunting them!
 
Good call Johnny!
 
I just wanted to thank everyone for their opinions, insight , input and jokes. This was a fun thread even though at times I was more confused than when I started. Want to wish everyone a safe and productive season. I look forward to the photos and reports from members.
 
They are going to find some relatively obscure midget hippo

your wish... here you are charlie pygmy hippo :D adults and a baby.

And the antis will say very soon that because there are not 50,000 Pygmy Hippo in the wild that they are endangered. Therefore, all hippo will need to be put on the up listing track and taken out of available animals to hunt.

Thank you @spike.t for providing the needed picture evidence!

Get your hippo now folks!

You bet we will @johnnyblues
I am glad you will hunt the river horse....be he on land or in the water ........doesn't matter. Shoot straight!
 
I'll do my best!
 
Rest easy my friend.......you have made the right decision. You are in for a great hunt. Oh by the way.......The buffalo hunt will be fun and exciting as well! :A Way To Go:
 
Thanks buddy.
 
This thread was an emotional roller coaster but concluded the way I hoped. Looking forward to the post hunt report.

Good Afternoon,
How firm are you on your Dakota 416? I am highly interested but looking at a few different guns currently.

Best,
BJ

What is the minimum you would take.

I have a Chapuis 450-400 double that looks brand new and shoots well, never been hunted from what I can tell. I am willing to part with it as I have a 375 H&H Sodia on it's way from Dorleac & Dorleac. I am looking for $9,250 for it and if you are interested, I am happy to send you some pictures. Regards,
Steve
