Intro from Mississippi

[chuckwellington]

Welcome from South Louisiana!
Damn nice ram.

Tell us about your buffalo. Nice hard skull cap.

Thanks. The buff was on our first full day in camp. Spotted a bachelor group from the road. They went down into the thick stuff and it was a couple hours of cat and mouse. We were close several times but no shots. Finally our target bull presented a frontal shot. Dead in his feet but I put a second into his shoulder and dropped him. CZ 550 in .375H&H and express sights. 300gr DGX and DGS

If you ever bird hunt, the little q ranch is just out of oxford and does released bird hunts. Josh Quong is the owner; a great guy who I know would love to talk about his Africa experience.

Nice. Good to hear another report that Hornady DGX and DGS work. They have stepped up their game, and good that Hornady continues to supply the smaller market African cartridges. Of course, Swift, Woodleigh, CEB, Northfork, etc. are great as well.

Was your buff taken in Zim?
Range with express sights?
Good ole spot and stalk, and stalk hunt.

We’ve known Josh a long time. We’ve got a couple vintage bird guns we like to exercise every once in a while

About 30 yards. Couldn’t see much further than that. I’d like Zim to be my next trip but this was in Limpopo. Also took two impala and a waterbuck on that trip. Farthest range was 88 or so.

Welcome to AH and the dark (posting) side.

Very nice trophies you posted.

Vintage bird guns? Are you talking hammer (exposed sidelocks), SxS, 28, 20, 16, 14, or 12 gauge, guns? Even better would be muzzleloading shotguns.

I would enjoy a couple of hunt reports and more info.
