You got me confused here: the smaller buffalo, euro-type, but the picture is of what to me looks like a regular shoulder mount. Is that because you had two buffaloes and only picture the non-euro mount, or am I missing something? And how does a euro-type skull differ from a euro-mount? Asking...

Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris!

I found this, wonder if that shows a dewlap?

And remember either Sky Map or Sky View app, they are great for identifying and finding objects up there. And the ISS detector app if you want to see that too.

The moon plays a big role. Two weeks ago we saw the milkyway and the ISS, in Mozambique.

Three barrels (.243, 9.3x62 and .416), swap them depending on target. Scopes for 9.3x62 and .416 can be swapped without screwdriver, sharing a 1-10x24. Store barrels with scopes. Hanging with one of the studs for mounting on stock in a small hole lined with a piece of plastic hole, and the...

Thanks. In Mozambique, next to Gonarezouh national park, with .416 RM.

:) it was from some random online game where I was assigned a random name, liked it, and stuck to it:)

Indeed it was fun, and hard hunt, just as it should be. Here are two pics of a hoof, if that helps.

Thanks for all the answers, and suggestions. And for the congrats. I fully agere, he was a shooter, and it was a though hunt. Full story will be posted later, still on my way home.

Thanks, didn't know about the dewlap, so didn't get a photo of that.

Here is one of the teeth, with salt, so perhaps not that useful... Will skip the lab, not that importan, but would like to know, approximately.To me, and the PH, he looks old.

Opening up a can of worms here, I know, but would like suggestions on how old this bull is. I don't know if it matters, but the spread is 38", free ranging.

Fantastic, that sounds good. I have been searching and searching but did (also) not find anything online. And even flat-back neck mount does not give an links. I also do not have 4 feet of wall, and will with a bit of luck shoot my (first!) buffalo in a weeks time. Any chance your buddy could...

Anybody got other examples, eg eland, kudu, etc? Would love to see them, not much space in small apartment.

You can PM me, I have Tsalas contact details, hunting with them in two weeks time.

Tsala is a sponsor here so you can write and ask them. PS,............ You can ask people to pm you.

Fascinating story, I had no idea. Perhaps/most likely many of you already know all of this, but if not it is worth a read. It is in Danish, but Google translate or one of the AI tools is your friend. See here https://jvv.dk/mauser-den-moderne-jagtriffels-stamfader-2/

I do exactly the same, really like it, and it is quick. Have to be a bit careful when crossing ditches etc that it doesn't touch the ground.

How good is it claimed to be? And by whom? It is good, but it is not my favorite. And its special because we can hunt it in spring, we call it summer buck. Served also in restaurants in spring/summer.

I believe things have changed a lot in 14 years. Here, in Denmark, we do not need a permit for a silencer, and we have European weapon pass for our rifles. If we travel to or through Germany by car with a silencer without permit (and they apparently vary from state to state) we risk confiscation...

Are we talking R8, non-X, or? Please take a picture and I will compare with mine.

I got one, the cow, from AliExpress. One month to go before my buffalo hunt, so quite timely. Very interesting to see how small the heart is, but lungs are big. This one notes that https://www.animbiosci.org/upload/pdf/2-191.pdf both lungs and hearts of buffalo are relatively larger than cows'...

Most here don't reach 6 years. I think the thinking is: if I don't shoot it the neighbours will - many fairly smallish hunting grounds. And expensive in many places, so people want to get a bang for their bucks :)

Yes, it is our hunting club, or rather, as it is called our consortium. One person rents the hunt for five years from the land owner. He then, in our case, determines the rules, and sub-lets it to us (16 of us). This quota system was already in place when I joined. Others have other setups...

A two-day hunt, an uneven 8-pointer . It is not a national thing, it is our internal system on our group. You can shoot either three 6-pointers OR one fork buck plus a 6-pointer; none smaller than fork, no buck in velvet. So, since my first one was a fork, I only had a 6-pointer left. Other...

A two-day hunt, an uneven 8-pointer Roe buck hunting season in Denmark runs from May 16 to July 15, from sunrise to sunset. This year it took 14 outings to get a fork buck (two points on each antler). Throughout all of this I hadn't seen anything I could say for certain was a six-pointer...

I use Locus, on Android, also tracks when offline.

Had it done 3 years ago, tri focal so had halos but don't see it any more unless I want to. Works great, need reading glasses for clipping my nails or pulling out splinters. No problem shooting (scopes). There are risks so not sure I will recommend it to my kids. But if you know them you make up...

Did a bit of searching, there is this one, anbody tried it? https://www.walmart.com/ip/4D-Vision-Cow-Anatomy-Model/33359064

That's a fantastic idea! Anybody found something like that, online will also work if available somewhere?

Perhaps something like this would work also, but probably not if shoulder mounts. The four here are from the same trip (to Poland).

I like it. Yes, a bit tighter than just flicking a switch, but so much safer, not cocked. Gives peace of mind, also for others, including PHs. I know of nothing like it, but perhaps Sauer is the same.

Maybe this helps:

I fully understand you want to research as much as possible, so did I. For my rifle, a 57cm barrel gives a 102cm total rifle length, if that helps (ultimate with adjustable stock).

I will try to stay away:)

Seems unable to find Johnston workwear in South Africa, assuming that is what SA stands for? Do you got a link/address?

HUNTROMANIA

Quite an adventure! Very interesting documentary!

I thought not, but just couldn't figure it out:)

Hmm, seems my English is insufficient to understand what asking if a handle is anyone else's favorite handle means? Is it because there a many/more luminous ham handles out there, or? Is irony involved? Sorry, I'm lost:unsure:

One thing is stealing the gun, another is getting it out of the airport unnoticed. Probably not worth the risk for most. And then they would have to find a buyer for it, or, unlikely, use it themselves.

I have done Ngorongoro/Serengeti and Zanzibar. Kenya parks and beach. And Namibia/Okavango with a few days of hunting at the end. With kids. Self-drive with roof tent. Let me know if you want details. We can also chat if you prefer.

I feel like there are different concepts at play here, and in the first post. Wilderness/remoteness vs stumbling onto the big five/elephants. There can be elephants but it not being that wild or remote, eg campfire in Zimbabwe or the Caprivi strip, where you wont be many miles from a major road...
