You’ll be better served with the 375 and 300 grain bullets

If your buffalo is broadside, and a great many are shot broadside, keep it real simple. Go up the front leg and about 6” above the elbow and shoot him there. You’ll quickly have a very dead buffalo, no matter if you’re 4” or 8” above the elbow. Just do not go behind the leg. There is no...

I simply want to be the beneficiary on the life insurance of anyone who cares to test this out. It could fund a lot of hunting for me.

You beat me to it. One of the best rivers anywhere.

Phillip, I have to disagree with you on your $100,000 comment. I hunted in The Selous Game Reserve, block MA1/Madaba with Alan Vincent in 2023, a 16-day hunt that included 3-buffalo, dry land hippo, croc, leopard and plains game plus my son as a companion hunter for 10 of those days and my...

It was very interesting. We found a fresh, good sized track the first morning of a 24-day safari and my PH, Cecil Riggs, asked if I wanted to shoot a leopard my first day. I replied something to the effect of he couldn’t be that sure we’d even see the leopard let alone shoot it. He assured me...

Divan is a really great guy! You’re going to enjoy hunting with him.

We’ve discussed this very topic that @migrabill is asking about multiple times. Killing a leopard isn’t that difficult if a client hunter adheres to a few basic principals and they are: 1. The PH matters greatly 2. The area matters greatly 3. The time of year you hunt matters greatly Get...

It’s simply wall paper that is a vinyl product rather than paper based. It’s a light gray color but comes in a range of colors/shades. I’m not sure what’s available now as we put that up nearly 39 years ago.

I think you’ll find that any and all of the bullets you mentioned will do an excellent job on any African plains game animal. My son and I have shot a good number of plains game with 150 grain Partitions in our 270’s and never once did we feel the need for more bullet. We’ve shot kudu, sable...

Congratulations on a special and spectacularly successful safari. I think the time and attention you devoted to the cultural aspects definitely enhances the whole experience.

The Savé has excellent buffalo hunting. Tons of buffalo and very good quality. Which Savé block will you be on and who is your PH?

I did this almost exact itinerary last year and it was easy. We overnighted at City Lodge and Bruce from Gracy Travel handled the gun logistics. Five nights at the Victoria Falls Hotel and they kept my rifles in the hotel vault. We then drove to Bulawayo where I met up with Alan Vincent and we...

The Bass Pro pants are very good for hunting. I have several pairs that I take on safari. Lightweight, quiet, comfortable and they breath well. You can spend a lot more but these are great value and last.

If/when I build another house, I’ll most likely go with 14 foot walls. I definitely won’t go higher than that.
