In the time when the only option was cup and core soft point this was the holding doctrine. Clients were advised: first shot soft point to make maximum damage, and when buffalo turns, next place a solid. Either in brain if charging, or diagonal shot if he is running away for maximum...

If I get discount, yes. If I dont get discount, or worse (higher price because of celebrity status), no. If outfitter offers something really special, for a price affordable to me, and other outfitters dont have the same thing available, yes. Then celebrity status is irrelevant. Generally...

I hunted about 25 species up to buffalo and ele. I can say this. - You must decide. 1 shot on DG against multiple shots on PG. Add the danger element for buffalo - Of all my hunts, buffalo stands out - Africa is so diverse, and I want to try other things, so my next buffalo will have to...

Dont speak about 243! You are stirring the hot pot! @Bob Nelson 35Whelen can hear you! :LOL: @Miletic Congrats on good shooting!

Most important is, you found your way! (one in a billion!) Good job! And keep it up in the future!

No problem. Just ask oufitter what you want. I have a friend full of such trophies. Many times, it will be on culling offers.

Foreign companies drill for many companies in Saudi, UAE etc.... And have assets there. If the war becomes tit for tat on oil structure, they will become targets. I am following daily, so far one oil refinery was hit twice, and one unconfirmed news that one oil rig is hit. But for oil rig, this...
