Thanks. Great hunt. I’ll have to respectfully disagree with the trigger happy comment though. I’ve hunted with Dalton and York for years now and York has only discharged his rifle with me one time. That was this hunt on the hippo which I shoulder shot from under 10 yards and he was still on...

They weighed 36/38 lbs on the local scale but possibly the local park’s scale wasn’t calibrated. We were guessing 45 or so. Waiting on definitive weight when they get back to Harare.

Finally got around to doing an MRI yesterday. Turns out there is a posterior malleolar fracture along with ligamentous injuries. Will get wear a boot for now.

Weather was about perfect. Upper 30s to mid 40s in the morning. Mid 70s to low 80s in the mid afternoon. Cooling off quickly after the sun went down.

Thanks 375 Ruger! Good to hear from you. Yes, one of the hardest parts of any hunts is leaving rifles behind. I love the 404 for sure. But already had 375 loaded up, had a recent 4457 and everyone else going with me was taking 375s so made it easy if we had an ammo issue.

Did an Xray when I got home and there was no fracture. I’m sure there’s a ligamentous but haven’t made time to do a MRI. Over a month out and I can walk just fine but still can’t walk down stairs normally. I think these things take a long time to get back to 100%

I agree. Taxidermy along with shipping costs have skyrocketed. We set up a big TV in our hunting lodge and have our videos and pictures on a thumb drive playing on a loop the whole time we’re there. Great alternative to traditional taxidermy. Having gun cases and bags made is another great...
