Welcome to AH and thank you for sharing the photos and videos. I lived in Panama for a few years, and now I am your southern neighbor when you are in Panama.

Safe hunting
 
2 videos of high moments this year, as far as I am concerned!



That Tuna grew a lot when it got next to the boat. Wow.
 
Hard to fake the size in that photo.


Do you ever get concerned about sharks?
 
We may have some in such bait ball circumstances but usually they can’t keep up with the speed of the tunas. We are “taxed” sometimes in Panama but always in the reef, never off shore.
 
Welcome to AH!

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.
