I hope questioning the age of your bull does not diminish in any way the excellent adventure the hunt was for you. For your next hunt :D I doubt this is about which country you are in, it’s the PH that makes the difference. I do understand the desire to experience other destinations and...

Ethiopian food is excellent, I highly recommend trying it.

Congratulations. And especially as you got to hunt with your sons. What a great experience.

Oh brother, Spypoint has given me pictures of trees or f-all. I am so dissatisfied with them.

Karoo lamb!

what a great hunt! Thanks for sharing it.

Some pictures as promised:

I got a picture to load

I am been overthinking on this. Here is my amateur engineering theory: both bullets strike the animal at the same velocity. They both mushroom equivalently. It’s the shank that changes the penetration. The swift expends energy in the deformation of the shank, and I suspect heat with that...

Thank you. I am having difficulty uploading photos. I will try again when I am back home.

Thank you for reading the post !

The phrase that the buffalo like you owe him money is often used. But, that look when he turns to you is deeply maniacal. It stays with you. My suggestion is just concentrate on your target area and hit him again, before he gets his feet under him for his riposte.

Does anyone know the relative expansion difference between Swift A-frame and the equivalent North Fork? I ask because I believe the common wisdom is that the North Fork will penetrate further. So, I am wondering if the Swift frontal diameter is actually more

I agree. I was using softs. I was talking to Marius about that as well. I can only assume the combination of the high SD for .411 bullets, plus the velocity of 2400. But we did find the entrance and exit holes. The poor skinners were rooting around in all of that for a while on my behalf. If a...

It really adds to the feeling you get!
