ZIMBABWE: One Of The Greatest Buffalo Hunts: Video Report Of My Hunt In The Omay With Johnny Russell Of Dalton & York Safaris

awesome hunt. congrats on a great and well earned bull! thanks for sharing!
 
Wow, congratulations! What a great hunt, just doesn’t get any better. Thanks for posting.
 
Epic hunt. A dry-land hippo is on my list. And WHAT a buffalo! You really should enter him for the Rigby Dagga Boy!
 
Johnny is absolutely first rate, I can't say enough good things about him. I would recommend him to anyone.
Johnny was in camp during my tuskless hunt; you can really tell he enjoys his work.

Watching the video now, really enjoying it….

Except for all the “Roll Tide” business ;-)

To bad the .470 WR wasn’t ready in time!
 
A hippo on land and a buffalo in the thick stuff, what a fantastic safari.
Thanks @Ridge Runner my primary wish was for buffalo, but I was glad we had an opportunity for the hippo on dry land, and I really enjoyed that. Stalking in close to such a large animal and trying to make sure we got a good shot was a great hunt.

The two times I’ve hunted the Omay, we tried to do a dry land hippo, but never could close the deal. We only saw bulls out in the water.
 
Man, awesome hunt. I love the emotions. You can clearly discern the sense of joy and accomplishment as well as relief at the conclusion of the buffalo hunt. Good shooting on both! Awesome buffalo.

Hi PaulB,
I have a Ballard Arms Model 1885 chambered for .333 Jeffery Flanged. Do you have any idea where I can get ammo for this?

I am new to this forum so I am sorry if I am doing something wrong!
Thank You!
