Hunting Buffalo
My father always dreamed of going to Africa, and as a child I was well versed in the exploits of Selous, Bell, and Patterson and tales of adventure in the "tall grass" of Africa. Although my Dad never made the trip in his life-time, I made a vow to live this adventure for him, and this dream finally came true in the hills of Kwa Zulu Natal. After six days of hard hunting, the old Dugga Boy fell to a .375 H&H win Barnes 300 grain TXS bullets. He didn't go easy, eventually take 6 shots and two foiled ambushes on his part before he went down. It was a massice 42 inch bull and the trophy of a lifetime in a REAL dangerous game. Shortly after he met his end, two trophy wart hogs and a great Impala followed. It was a fantastic hunt and one which I hope to reexperience someday.
