Jeff- Who are you hunting with ? What is your set up for the cape buffalo and are you doing the buffalo spot and stalk or from a blind? Sounds like a great hunt and looking forward to the report!
The buff will be with Sensational Safaris, I am shooting a. Bowtech assassin at. #74 with a 975 grain arrow and 22 percent FOC. We will use multiple hunting tactics, whatever we think will work.
 
Have a great hunt buff and night kritters are both very rewarding hunts!!!
 
Jeff

I have killed many capes, but never with a bow and arrow as I am quite certain I would drop water in my loin cloth should I find myself at 30 paces doing a staring contest without at least a 458 minimum in which to support my position that it is I who is the toughest bastard in the area......though my 600 takes away all doubt.

You got one big set of jinglebobs there son......and I tip my hat to you.:A Happy Wave:
 
Leave in 5 days for 6 full hunting days of bowhunting in the Free State for Ardwolfe, genet and hound hunt for serval and who knows what else, then 8 hunting days bowhunting in the Limpopo for buffalo.
Good luck Jeff.
 
Good luck and may your arrows fly straight and true.
 
Safe travels Jeff... Looking forward to the stories upon your return..

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)
