Leaving today for Cameroon to hunt Bongo and Forest Buffalo. I will be hunting with Northern Operations Africa.
After 2 years I must say that I don’t think I realized how much I missed Africa!
I’m not sure what my internet situation will be in camp but will post from there as the situation permits.

Once you have hunted the forests of Cameroon you realize hunting is not a pastime but a way of life. Good luck and have a great adventure.
 
Have a great hunt and please document it well...


Safe travels and great hunt!!!
 
Awesome! Have a great trip, look forward to the report!
 
Good luck! Be prepared to sweat from every pore and get rained on at times. Don’t worry about staying dry and just embrace it. You’re not going to get hypothermia anyway! I’m sure you will get your animals with persistence.
 
Good luck, safe travels and shoot straight. Will be watching for your report.
 
I’ve hunted with Northern Operations. Dave runs a great company, so I have no doubt you will have a wonderful time. Bongo are one of the great prizes of Africa - moments to savour!

Good luck!
 
Wish you the best of luck !
 
Good shooting! Looking fwd to your report!
 
Good Luck and Good Hunting! I’ve been to the rainforest twice and can’t wait to relive those moments through your report.
 
Let me give a quick update to the trip to Cameroon. After 27 hours of travel I landed in Douala, Cameroon at 8:30 PM proceeded to have to take a rapid COVID-19 nasal exam. That would’ve been fine except the form was in French and illegible. After figuring out how to fill that form out took my exam and proceeded to claim my luggage. 90 minutes of security - police station , everyone getting involved that probably didn’t need to, i.e. the normal Africa experience, I got permission to enter the country. Off to the Star Land Hotel for a plane flight tomorrow. Weather is your typical 90 degrees with 90% humidity. Can’t wait to get into the jungle and chase after the Bongo. More to follow...

Enjoy - I have spent weeks in the Star Land and months in Cameroon - sadly all work related with no opportunities for hunting.

I will be looking for a set of these when my .505 is done... sadly not cashed up right now for these. :(
Need anything in trade?
Cheers,

what kind of velocity does the 140 grains list, curious how they would fit in with my current 130 gr, supply of 270s. maybe a pic of the box data listing vel. and drop. Oh and complements on that ammo belt, nice.
