great shot, and a good buff!

Buffalo video clip #1: Nice shoulder shot, quartering on/toward. And the buffalo stopped the Walterhog for recovery and display in the previous photo lineup. Lessee ... number 4 from left to right (from the 18 Sep 06 thread) ... went into the right shoulder and recovered on "autopsy" from the left rear leg:

Saeed,

Great shooting and thanks for posting the videos.

On the first buff, did you take him in the shoulder or in the brisket? Were you concerned about the bullet going through and into the herd?

Thanks Saeed for the additional visual enjoyment

Is that 4 shots for 4 Buff?

Actually it was 5 shots.

Number 3 - the first of the two, which was shot in the head - already had one in the shoulders, but, as he was still standing, I thought of finishing him off with a head shot.

The first buffalo was our first this year, and it was a very easy hunt.

We saw the herd from the car, and as luck would have it, we were down wind as well.

We just walked about 300 yards in long grass to get into a shooting position, as they were lying in a dry river bed.

The second buffalo was followed for about an hour with his herd.

I fired a shot at him and then we chased the rest of the herd to get another one.

We saw one standing broadside, but, most of his chest was hidden. I fired a shot at him as far forward as I dared, and he ran off. He stopped about a 100 yards further, loking back at us. He was hidden behind a tree, so as we tried to get more to the side to be able to shoot him, he took off. Luckily he went through a gap, and I managed to put a raking shot into him.

He dropped about 20 yards further. And as we usually do, I put a finishing shot into him.

I will post a clip of this one tomorrow, as well as of the one that walked straight towards us, and I shot him in the head less than 20 yards from us.

Saeed,

Always enjoy your videos and hunts...Good shoting always..

Mike

Saeed, great videos! Thanks for posting.

Saeed,

That was great shooting as usual!

Wait until you see what I did on LU5 - Chris has video of some of it. Who's sig line is "While there's lead in the air there's hope!" ????

That would indeed be the most controversial issue of the 4 buffalo shot in the first three video clips.

Saeed has said he uniformly gets shoot-throughs with the Walterhog on buffalo broadside shots.

This was a quartering shot from shoulder to rear leg, on a diagonal through the entire length of the body.

If the buffalo had been a little less quartered, a bit closer to broadside, the bullet surely would have wounded another buffalo in the herd behind the target buff.

This would have been no skin off Saeed's nose, however ... unless he had to followup a wounded animal and somehow got into more excitement than he paid for.

It was indeed a risky shot with a Walterhog at 2700 fps, for most of us. But of course, Saeed knew right where that bullet was going, and was aiming for the far rear leg, with a Walterhog that never deviates from a laser-straight course.

The Walterhog could have gone into the guts of a buffalo behind the target buffalo, had the red god sneezed. Then we might have the potential for some Mark Sullivan style footage.

Nice shooting Saeed, I always enjoy the buff hunting footage! Looking forward to the next set of video.

Why didn't you give him a choice like Mark Sullivan thats great. Awesome videos you are a lucky guy.

Th e hippo link will not open for me I dont know if its just me.

I couldn't see the hippo or zebra link.

Great videos though Saeed. Thank you for posting, those are always fun to watch.

I've heard of Mark Sullivan and his "death at my feet" style videos, can someone explain the comments above though? I'm not that familiar with the guy.

do a search doc you dont want to get the Mark Sullivan conversations going on this awesome thread,,,,trust me

k

Saeed: Very, very nicely done -- especially on No. 3 and 4.

Great Videos.. nice to hear Roy's voice on the hunt again.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!

Saeed my friend,

It sure looks easy when you do it!

I really like the 16:9 aspect ratio for the clips. Will the video be in widescreen format too?

Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
Chris

But thanks for the fantasics video´s

thanks PerN. Cool hippo shot.

What rifle is Saeed using? Not caliber but brand?

SPECTACULAR !!!!!! I just loved those videos!

Saeed can really knock them down...


Mike

He should be called the brain surgeon awesome shootin

Thanks for sharing the fun with us.

your shooting is getting better,keep on trying

Sorry about the links that did not work.

I think they should all work now.

I am trying to add a few more of our clips, hopefully later today.

Jissie, the man can shoot.....

Respect Saeed!!!

Everything is filmed in high definition, which is wide aspect ration.

Trouble is there is no media we can output HD to as yet - Blu-Ray and HD-DVD is just coming onto the market.

The DVDs we are making are in standard definition. And when HD comes along we will put them on HD.

All of us have been using the same two rifles for years.

Both are custom rifles built on the Dakota 76 action.

One has a Shilen barrel, and one has a Lilja barrel.

Both are chambered for our own wildcat, the 375/404. Previously we used the Barnes X 300 grain bullets, with excellent results.

For the past few years, we have been using our own Walterhog bullets, again, with excellent results.

Both rifles have the Leupold 2.5-8 scope in Dakota mounts. Both rifles weigh 9 pounds with 3 rounds and scope.

Saeed---thanks for the vids and tell the Vincents excellent camera work--love the buff pics especially----chris

Thanks! I enjoyed it a lot! Great shootin`...

Thanks so much for the video and pictures. It certainly brings back memories, as I sit far away from Africa at the moment. It is great to be back for a short while, if only vicariously....

Bill

Hi Saeed,
I think you are the best game shot that I've seen. As Chris said it sure looks easy when you do it. Thanks for all the videos.
Take good care,
Dave

This is some of the best shooting I have seen.
Your right up there with any video that people pay for. You are a killing Machine.
Thats the way to hunt. Thanks for the videos.

Thanks for the footage. Well done!

They say buffalo can absorb a lot of lead - but obviously not Walterhogs!
