Nice Caprivi Bull!

Cape Buffalo Bull taken by MikeH last month in the Caprivi with Classic Safaris.

Well done and a nice hard bossed mature bull.

Caprivi is wilderness area. At the confluence of the Zambezi, Kwando and the Okavango. Wonderful place to experience.

Love the curls. As a kooky aside, one like that'd look great on a heavily modified Harley-Davidson-- as handlebars, of course.

Mike, yes it is, and I would wager that his Ruger is chambered in .416 Rigby!

I'm pretty certain that Vaughan Fulton's Classic Safaris was his outfitter and that Dries Alberts was his PH.

Nice buf by the way. Congratulations to Mike.

I met Mike in Windhoek at the airport on our way back from our hunts. He walked up and introduced himself when he saw the Accurate Reloading patch on my shirt.

We got to swap stories and pictures about our hunts in the lounge there and again at Gatwick.

Isn't this the same guy that was thrown off the Forum? Anyone remember why?

Speaking of that, why did 500 Grains get banned?

500grains was not banned. He started a thread here today -- scroll down.

Mike left for a bit but I believe re-registered. Not sure of his current status.

Thank you for being concerned.

I was deprived of posting privileges on the AR political forum for week or two, apparently because I posted too many non-flattering but IMO humorous photoshops of Obama. You can peruse my photobucket account to get a feel for the material if you like:

I can't imagine You didn't drink a couple of drinks and perhaps smoke some cigars?

I wonder why Mike didn't post any longer?
Perhaps will he post a comprehensive report, news from the Caprivi are always captiving.
Mike please move Your....body.
