Looks like that Kudu might have been shooting back…he has scope bite too!!!
 
Yup. Got mine from a 375HH 350gr Barnes TSX when I shot my eland on my last hunt. Crawled the stock a little too much. Call it half moon, bush tattoo or whatever, it will get your attention.

He rolled down a very steep and very rocky hill...
 
I joined this year after many years being a virgin. Hog hunting and my shot was only 60 yards, put the rifle on a fence post and leaned in to much. The good part is that hog dropped, the others ran but with blood in my eyes I was able to nail another boar at 120. That’s what the smile is about.

When I was young, I remember my dad's friend deer hunting with a 7mm rem mag. He knocked down a deer but split his right eye open. Then he switched to shooting lefthanded for a followup and split his left eye open. He couldn't see anything after that
 
It was actually 3/4 moon. Does that still count.
 
I only felt the scope whack my forehead once, shooting at an elk about 250 yards away. I had my trusty 06 twisted up in a little forked sapling for a "steady rest" and when the recoil came, it rebounded and sent the scope into my face lol. Luckily it just whacked me hard, never broke the skin .
Its really kinda easy to do shooting prone so I'm always careful doing that.
Nice pics!!! Lol
 
Been popped a few times, but only was cut once. In 2008 was checking zeros in the Selous. They did it stretched over the hood of the gharri, not great. First riifle, my .416, was spot on. Backup rifle, a .375 that was a bit short for me cut me on the first shot. It was about an inch off, so I insisted on shooting again. Wiped off the blood and the second shot was spot on.

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 :-)
Spending a few years hunting out west then back to Africa!

I doubt you are interested in any trades but I was getting ready to list a Sauer 404 3 barrel set in the 10-12 price range if your interested. It has the 404J, 30-06 and 6.5 Creedmoor barrel. Only the 30-06 had been shot and it has 7 rounds through it as I was working on breaking the barrel in. It also has both the synthetic thumbhole stock and somewhere between grade 3-5 non thumbhole stock
