I wasn't allowed to go to Africa this year as planned unfortunately, but I managed a great hunt on our Aussie buffalo instead. We hunted in very remote central Arnhemland with Big Country Safaris and had a fantastic time. Highly recommended for a true stalking experience on foot, from a tented camp in true wilderness.

I used my Mk. X 458WM and 480gn Woodleigh RN. First shot on this old sweeper bull was right on dark, then we had an exciting pursuit down to the creek where he died right in the water after absorbing a further two shots. Luckily there were only freshwater crocodiles present, made for an interesting caping job under headtorch!

cheers
Tim

Great looking animal
 
Folks I really appreciate all of the postings being made here. I think it’s cool to scroll through this thread and see so many fine DG animals taken by our members….after all this was for animals taken by you the AH MEMBER.
Congrats to everyone!
I hope someone will start a similar thread next year!

I agree Charlie and maybe a first-timers thread too!
 
My son and I both were able to take Cape buffalo in the Limpopo with Warthog Safaris (report is on AH). With a 416 rem mag my son took the unique swept back bull with a frontal shot and two follow up shots. I took my with a 375 h and h with 300 grain swift a frame to the heart. Fantastic hunts were had by the two of us! We also had three first time safari hunters with us and that was almost as exciting as our buff hunts!!

Congratulations to both of you
 
@CAustin I'll take the task for starting a thread for 2022. My wife has buffalo on her list for next year.
I will leave it as a surprise on what I am hunting:-)

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.:)

This compares favorably to 7 Rem Mag. with less powder & recoil.
