Ladies and Gentlemen,

As a consideration to our members who are still on dial-up connections, I am going to split our hunt report into smaller parts.

Part One

Part Two

Part Three

Part Four

Part Five

Once I have completed the report, I will add all the parts together, and post them on our Hunting page.

Thanks Saeed. It's almost like the Saga continues.

Wonderful photos, thanks very much Saeed!

I was meaning to ask, what happened with the DVD thread? My offer stands: It would be my honour to run a list for all European AR members! I have the facility to copy DVD's and quite some experience with it, too...

Cheers,

elwood.

Aha! So it was Dwight that got that nice boss!

Very nice!

Saeed,

Great photos, can't wait to see more.

wonderful pics. Thanks for sharing Saeed.

Looks like you guys had a fantastical time!
There nothing like hunting, laughing & sharing memories with ones good friends!

Thanks!

Saeed,

Thank you for posting the photos of another of your wonderful hunts. I am amazed when I look back at my safari photos how much I seem to have aged the past few years and you seem to be following suit. Maybe it is having daughters that is doing it to us...or perhaps tolerating Walter is your excuse. I wish you many more years of great hunts and maybe we will both be posting photos in the years to come in which we appear as old and worn out as Ray.

Thanks Saeed. It's great following the story with pictures! That is a nice Waterbuck by the way.

John

Great Photos - Thanks so much!!

EXCELLENT PHOTO'S, Thanks Saeed

Can someone enlighten me as to what the two rifles are, action/calibre?

saeed...thanks for sharing can you of someone help me out with what cartridge that was next to the prints. is that your famous 375-404?

I've really enjoyed the "at the scene" narrative we had, and now these photos. Thank you, Saeed!

Great photos. Great entertaining stories. What would you do without Walter?

We used two custom built rifles, both on Dakota 76 actions. One has a Shilen barrel and McMillan stock, and one has a Lilja barrel and an MPI stock. Both have Leupold 2.5-8X scopes, in Dakota mounts.

They are chambered for our own 375/404, and we used our own lathe turned HP copper bullets.

These rifles have been used extensively by several hunters on several African safaris. And it seems each person that uses one falls in love with it!

The rifles and bullets performed very well. But we need to make bullets that can maintain their straight flight as they shoot through twigs.

Very enjoyable! Thanks for sharing, Saeed!!

Saeed,
Fantastic photos and stories!

Thanks for sharing your experiences with us!

Great photos Saeed, thanks for taking the time and sharing, very interesting and well done, Waidmannsheil, Dom.

mashallah excellent saeed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Thanks for the great pictures and story!!

Saeed, I am getting number two again instead of number 4.

I can't figure out which buff skull Walter is leaning on in the skull photo. About three of the bulls look that good before they were boiled!

Saeed,
The photos are fantastic as usual.

But I have just one question - what sorts of zebra are these? They have no shadow lines and I guess that means they are not Burchell's but are they mountain zebras?

Brent

Saeed - I thoroughly enjoyed seeing all of the photos and reading your stories. Looks like you guys really had a great trip. Thanks.

Saeed,

What a quality time spent and also a fun time with Mr. Entertainment himself...Walter...

Super photos...

Mike

Saeed, a truly incredible hunting report! Thank you so much for including all of us. Congratulations on many beautiful animals!

I just went thru all your photos Saeed, and they are as always of the high quality we have come to expect. Congrats on your great hunt.

Saeed:

Great photos and thank you for posting. I hope you left some Buffalo for other people to shoot!

Saeed,

I'd like to se that nice waterbuck again. I assume it disappeared when Part 4 became Part 2 again.
