Jeff SNIt looks to me like you had a great hunt. Always love the way you do a few unique pictures.
Hope all is well, looking forward to the full report.
P.S. My wife still has to hear about that guy named Nick that I met at the B and B who gave me the great advice for my hunt. Take care Nick. Jeff
Well done, sir!. Great pictures (love the one of you through the trigger guard!). Looking forward to the narrative.. jorge

Great bull, and great location. Very creative photos as well! The Woodleigh Hydro must have found some serious bone to be recovered.

Already I was beginning to fall into the African way of thinking: That if
you properly respect what you are after, and shoot it cleanly and on
the animal's terrain, if you imprison in your mind all the wonder of the
day from sky to smell to breeze to flowers—then you have not merely
killed an animal. You have lent immortality to a beast you have killed
because you loved him and wanted him forever so that you could always
recapture the day - Robert Ruark

bwanamrmHelluva buff there. Well done.
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...

BuffNutThanks for an excellent report and congrats on a great buff! Some really nice photos, too. I'm just not sure about the Chivas. Other than that, super cool!
Nick
That is a super hunt with just spectacular photography.
The picture of you and the group all crouched down and looking at the game captures just how it is. I truly like that one and am going to have to show it to my friends around.
Really nice for you and for sharing it with us too.

Charlie
Ps Good choice of Scotch as well!

In Africa, you need to be flexible, go with the flow and adapt. The Zim guys also talk about, "making a plan" when things don't go as they should. It's the right attitude!

jaegerfrankIt is fantastic to use the double. I enjoyed it very much on my elephant. However, on buffalo a scoped 416/458 is close to perfect. So imho the right tool beats romance for me.
30 June 2015, 08:16
ozhunterCongrats mate. Must catch up soon and swap story's
Great hunt and pictures, thank you.
Iron sighted double for elephant, perfect. I am convinced that a scoped magazine rifle is the weapon of choice for buffalo in jesse.

Your Garmin e-trex do you have a topo card in it?? If so where do you get one for Zim?
