Nice young bull gemsbuck taken with a single shot to the front chest. They make a great Euro mount as well as a great shoulder mount.

What a fantastic trophy animal this big mare is. This was the hardest animal to locate and sneak up on during our entire trip. This rug is truly a treasured memory and centerpiece in our home.

Bow hunting selfie taken while hunting in Texas. Very hot temperatures made the animals think otherwise about coming around. That 's hunting though, not every trip means an animal in the cooler but what a great experience!

Beautiful free range blackbuck taken in Texas in Dec 2014. What a cool animal to see and harvest while deer hunting in the great state of Texas. Great tasting animal too!
 
Elk hunting here in Colorado. I didn 'to find an elk but I did find loads of tarantulas. No, I didn't kill it. I just wanted to play with it for a bit. Wonderful weather (for me ) made for a very tough and unsuccessful hunt but lots of fun and exercise !

Here is a photo of my trophy room. I have a very understanding wife to be sure. This is between our kitchen and living room so they are always on display, not tucked away in some "man cave" in the basement or garage. Notice the animals on the left, an Axis buck in velvet and a Scimitar-horned oryx. Both taken in Texas. On the right next to the gemsbuck skull is a Barren ground caribou taken on the Alaskan island of Adak island.

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.:)

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.
