Congratulations. Where was this hunted?
 
Shot was 37 yds mixed with elephant. Krieghoff 470 NE With federal premium woodleigh solid first shot, Hornady dgx second shot. Dropped him with the first shot in the neck as he was falling hit him with the second one about 1 1/2 inch from first.
Elephants trumpetted and left to our right and the other two buffalo left on our left. Certainly lets you know your alive!
 
Beautiful bull (if there is such a thing), congratulations. Love the scars on his face!
 
Great bull! Good shooting with the double rifle. Not how most do it (scoped 375) the 1st time but well done the way you wanted!
 
Congrats!! My first buffalo was with Leon, too
. (y) if you know, you know Leon.
Beautiful place and beautiful buffalo

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
