I just had this exact shot at 28 yards last week. 470 NE with Barnes TSX 500 gr at 2075 fps. He wheeled at the shot, and I hit him a second time in the right hip quartering forward. It traveled up thru the gut and into the chest. We think either shot would have taken him. He ran about 40 yds...

Thank you for the offer. Could you please clarify for me: Headline says $34,000 for the package. But then in the T/C's says trophy fees are exclude. Does this mean that trophy fees for leopard, hippo, croc and buffalo are in addition to the $34,000? I am very interested in this hunt. Just...
