ZAMBIA: BOWHUNT: Dugga Boy In The Salt

Wow awesome old battler there for sure, well done, even more awesome with Bow & Arrow tackle .

I love hunting Hippo on land but a few make it back to the water to die as I suspect as happened here & took a while to recover him ?

Hence you need a car Jack to get his mouth open ?

Love your picture. Great croc and especially with a bow. Would love to hear the story. From a blind? How far away? Shot placement? How hard to recover. Details would be wonderful. Congrats

Congratulations on a great trophy.
 
They had a tuskless on quota……”had”….

Buff, hippo, croc & tuskless in 7 days with a bow.

7 days left to get a puku. Ah, don’t really give a shit now.

thanks for your reply bob , is it feasible to build a 444 on a P14/M17 , or is the no4 enfield easier to build? i know where i can buy a lothar walther barrel in 44, 1-38 twist , but i think with a barrel crown of .650" the profile is too light .
