My friend and customer Worth, shot these great bulls in Luke's Masailand area a couple of weeks ago. ![]() The bull on the right is 44.5" and I don't have measurements for the bull with the deep curls. ![]() Jerry Huffaker State, National and World Champion Taxidermist | ||

Wow!! xxxxxxxxxx When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members. If not, why support someone who doesn't support us? Consider spending your money elsewhere. NEVER, EVER book a hunt with BLAIR WORLDWIDE HUNTING or JEFF BLAIR. I have come to understand that in hunting, the goal is not the goal but the process. | |||

Holy smoke! Whether you like incredible drop or tremendous width... he got it. Can't wait to see the mounts you do with them. ___________________________ www.boaring.com I'm so old that I still have some skills even without an internet connection or electricity. ___________________________ | |||

That Masailand produces some great buff. Are you sure he didn't sneak into Ngorongoro and get these? ![]() Have gun- Will travel The value of a trophy is computed directly in terms of personal investment in its acquisition. Robert Ruark | |||

yeah I could shot those but they would encroached on the 44.75 I already have... ![]() Mike Never under estimate the internet community's ability to reply to your post with their personal rant about their tangentially related, single occurrence issue. ![]() What I have learned on AR, since 2001: 1. The proper answer to: Where is the best place in town to get a steak dinner? is…You should go to Mel's Diner and get the fried chicken. 2. Big game animals can tell the difference between .015 of an inch in diameter, 15 grains of bullet weight, and 150 fps. 3. There is a difference in the performance of two identical projectiles launched at the same velocity if they came from different cartridges. 4. While a double rifle is the perfect DGR, every 375HH bolt gun needs to be modified to carry at least 5 down. 5. While a floor plate and detachable box magazine both use a mechanical latch, only the floor plate latch is reliable. Disregard the fact that every modern military rifle uses a detachable box magazine. 6. The Remington 700 is unreliable regardless of the fact it is the basis of the USMC M40 sniper rifle for 40+ years with no changes to the receiver or extractor and is the choice of more military and law enforcement sniper units than any other rifle. 7. PF actions are not suitable for a DGR and it is irrelevant that the M1, M14, M16, & AK47 which were designed for hunting men that can shoot back are all PF actions. 8. 95 deg F in Africa is different than 95 deg F in TX or CA and that is why you must worry about ammunition temperature in Africa (even though most safaris take place in winter) but not in TX or in CA. 9. The size of a ding in a gun's finish doesn't matter, what matters is whether it’s a safe ding or not. 10. 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact. 11. Never buy a WSM or RCM cartridge for a safari rifle or your go to rifle in the USA because if they lose your ammo you can't find replacement ammo but don't worry 280 Rem, 338-06, 35 Whelen, and all Weatherby cartridges abound in Africa and back country stores. 12. A well hit animal can run 75 yds. in the open and suddenly drop with no initial blood trail, but the one I shot from 200 yds. away that ran 10 yds. and disappeared into a thicket and was not found was lost because the bullet penciled thru. I am 100% certain of this even though I have no physical evidence. 13. A 300 Win Mag is a 500 yard elk cartridge but a 308 Win is not a 300 yard elk cartridge even though the same bullet is travelling at the same velocity at those respective distances. | |||

That's kinda funny, because this was his 4th trip to Masailand trying to kill one of the big ones. Every year before he took nice bulls but just never could get on a really big one, so I think maybe persistence and a little luck. ![]() Jerry Huffaker State, National and World Champion Taxidermist | |||

Worth indeed! As a wise man once said: An ounce of luck is worth a ton of skill! ![]() As an experienced safari hunter, I'm sure Worth would agree. To get just one of those buff on a single safari would be remarkable! Congrats to Worth! ![]() Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||

Dabney, Congratulations on a couple of great buffalo. I meet Jay today for lunch to look at his pictures but he said you both had great hunts and hit the rains just right... lots of buff coming out of the parks and getting to see the beginnings of the wildebeest migrations must have been a cool experience! Looks like third time was a charm! Congrats again. Cheers, Russell On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died. If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch... Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son! - Rudyard Kipling Life grows grim without senseless indulgence. | |||
