Headed back to South Africa..........

HAHA....You got the GOOD ones!

You can have Trophy Pro SA make you a pair from your buff... We had a pair made for everyone in the hunting party from the back skin. They came out really nice!
 
I think that will have to be done....definitely would be a TOUGH pair of gators right there!
 
What a great surprise!
 
Good luck and play safe !

What a surprise, hope it goes well and will be looking forward to your report. I will be bow hunting buff in August. Can't wait.
 
Good luck...Buffalo are great to hunt..
 
Good luck on that hunt, be safe!
 
We are very pleased to share that Matrix has successfully put his Cape buffalo in the salt after 6 hard days of hunting.... And, what a spectacular bull it is! I do not want to steal his thunder, so I will let Mr. Terry (aka Matrix) share his full report and story upon his return. Here is a short clip of the celebration!


 
Congrats!!!

tell us the story and the bow-arrow setup please!
 
Wow! Congratulations on a fantastic buffalo. I can't wait to hear the story. Jan Loots is the best! We love Jan and our second family at Limcroma Safaris.

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.
