Damn Aleko! That is a great buffalo. What's the story?

Heritage ArmsShot it in TZ last December. One shot 80 yds with my .375 Blaser. AJ told me it was the biggest buff shot in the concession in a couple of years! It is the biggest buff I have ever shot ! It was a great hunt, 2 buff, Hartebeeste, Zebra, and the biggest Impala I have ever shot too.

Michael RobinsonAleko,
Excellent buff. I would guess at least 44-45", if not more. Nice boss, too.
Where in Tanzania? Was he alone or with other daga boys?
Congrats.

That is one fantastic Buff! Congrats!

Adam ClementsAleko, were you in Lobo or Lolkisale? There was another buff shot last year in Lobo that was 51", but that is one heck of a buffalo you got as well. AJ told me about the buffalo, but had not seen the picture of it yet, so thanks for sharing.
And guys still want to argue about Tanzania and big buffalo
Proof is in the pudding. Can not wait to get the season started off in Masailnd soon!!!

bwanamrmExcellent! The Holy Grail of buff that drives most of us to hunt Masailand.
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.

Use Enough GunFor most that's the buff of a lifetime. Well done.

500grainsAleko,

BwanahileIs the same AJ of the infamous discounted hunts in Zim?

Michael RobinsonAleko,
You are killing me. You post a 48 inch (oh yeah, I forgot, plus or minus . . .), once in a lifetime cape buffalo, that you killed in Masailand
six months ago as "TEST PHOTO"?!?!?!
New thread title suggestion: "
Once In A Bloody Lifetime Luckier Than An Irishman's Sainted Mother's Four Leaf Clover Cape Buffalo!!!!!!!"
You have got to be kidding me!
WHAT A BUFF!!!
