Maybe it's a form of heresy to show a cow on this thread. :p But... it's what I have. I am EXTREMELY happy with this buffalo; it was easily one of my favorite hunts ever. SOOO much fun. A lot of miles and tracking ending with an irritated 1300 pound cow and a 45 yard frontal shot, as she sized us up and debated what to do about us. And we were in the sticks... it was super thick with pokey stuff; the photo on the left is on the back of the ravine, where she fell.

A cow can be just as dangerous and exciting to hunt as a bull. Besides, the world record is a cow!
 
I just scroll the entire 23 pages of this thread, looking closely at every single pictures.

My first morning of buffalo hunting will happen in 3 months, 2 weeks and 1 day. Can't wait. And with all the things that are shaking the entire world, I just hope I'll be able to make my way there.

This officially the oldest Buffalo hunting picture on record...in my cell phone!

It was pre iPhone and post mullet, so your guess on year is as good as mine.

Seeing this picture and typing that out puts things in perspective a little.

This was a good bull from Moz with a most interesting follow up. I remember emailing this pic to my first cell phone so I'd be able to market safaris anyplace at any time!

The hair slip, worn down horns, battle scars...

That sir, is a most excellent trophy. Congratulations.
 
Fantastic old warrior. Congrats! I’m guessing that Raptor really impressed him. I guess the Gibbs .450 got left home this trip?

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...
Behind the scenes of taking that perfect picture.....

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris
