MOZAMBIQUE: L2 Niassa Game Reserve Hunting Report

Awesome hunt, well done!
 
Roosevelt Sable are not as large as common Sable. 39 in. is a large rs.
 
Very good hunting report.
Nice trophies and and good pictures. You did have a good hunt. Congrats..

I like the pic of your "helmet" buffalo bull. Both horns broken can't be a very common occurrence, or is it? Not many trophy hunters would take one anyway. Interesting.
 
Dunno longwalker. He's my kind of trophy for sure. Bad ass bull that has really been through the wars

definitely an animal that has lived his life
I consider an old timer like him , lion shit , and in time that's what he would've been
in my eyes an awesome animal and every scar on his hide could tell a tale , but not a trophy ,for this little black duck
 
Buff hunting is extremely addictive, the rush is unbelievable, not often a first time buff hunter will take a scrum cap, but repeat hunters love to go for the ole scrum caps, often they are a lot more dangerous than other buffalo,,,stalking these ole buggers gives you one hell of a thrill..
 
I can only imagine(so far) , that stalking in on buffalo , whether it was a breeding herd of fifti or ,half a dozen grumpy ole dugga lads , being about as exciting as it could get , specially with my bow .
and im sure that them quarter back buffalos ,with no hooks left , to protect themselves , would as jumpy as a cat on a hot tin roof .

good to see your back simon
 
Thanks Bluey, just been real busy lately, those ole bloody scum caps always seem to be on edge..
 
Just finished great Rock Pigeon shoot..

Great trophies, old animals that are finished with their husbandly duties and show their battle scars. Well done.
 
All trophies to be proud of! Love the old scrum cap! Great safaris guys, well done.

They are all looking mature(y) and above

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.:)

This compares favorably to 7 Rem Mag. with less powder & recoil.

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.
