Buffalo trophy lost in Africa-would you do this..........

the trophy of the buffalo pictured is lost somewhere in Africa (my wife is not unhappy about it :giggle:).
The great hunt back then is always on my mental hard disk; I have also taken enough photos. But-somehow I would like to have it at home and so the thought sometimes germinates in me to buy a similar trophy on E-bay so that it is “finally there”.
I don't know if anyone understands that.
There are a few sold there over the year from estates; cheap.
I really hunted for it and finally shot it in the Save, it just went over the wall somehow on the way to the taxidermist, so I'm not boasting about Münchhausen stories.
I'm not lying then,or,or only a little bit :rolleyes:??

What would be your opinion on this idea?
Heretical?

That’s an excellent Old Bull, shot yourself a real Dagga Boy in the true sense, well done & that replacement is close, I hope you got it ?
 
Have a roe buck on the wall above my head as I type this - I did not hunt it - saw it for sale and had to have it a beautiful mount - I have culled several 100 roe over decades - never thought about getting one mounted until I saw this chap - So go for it I say !

Morning Rob, Any feeling for how the 300 H&H shoots? How's the barrel condition?

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
To much to political shit, to little Africa :-)
