Some of our favorite Cape buffalo photos...

I like this for the Monster tucked in there !
 
Excellent. So the question is...when do you go back? I just can't get enough of buff and ele. One of them is the goal of every trip I've taken so far. I don't plan on changing that approach.
I am so like you…it seems I am now only interested in elephant and buffalo!

Now you're ruined...abandon all hope ye who enter here!
 
I like that young fellow in the middle-lots of potential there-outstanding photos, thank you all for sharing

That's the kind of scenario that I would want to look as much as possible. That's a much larger group than I am used to hunting. I like finding those small groups of older bulls that have pulled back from the herds.

I think he would be near 50in model, certainly 48in ?

I had a look in my files for exactly where that was but couldn’t find the details sorry.

Its Tanzania.
 
Very difficult to judge the widest ones. I took one 2 weeks ago that was 47 and change...that looks as big as that one. It's probably 48+ and it's not hard to believe another inch or two.
 
Those last 2 photos look like you were with me 2 weeks ago...same kind of look just before we stalked them.

This guy is definitely wide but he looks really thin to me on his bosses. I would like to see the lower left bull standing broadside in the water straight in. His bosses are really big.

I forgot about these. My buddy John was guiding his client in the “Crook’s Corner” area of Zim. Client took a great bull and two days later on a short walk out of camp they walked up on a bachelor group. John was begging the client to take another bull, but he passed. So they took pictures instead.

…the guy was definitely not a buffalo hunter :)

ooof...big boy on the edge of cover...that's about as good as it gets. Hard to turn it down.

Right??? John sent me those pictures and I was floored... everyone one of them hard-bossed and top drawer trophies. I could never afford to hunt that area, but good grief...

I saw a bull 2 weeks ago that made my stomach flip flop...that has never happened before. I will be writing about it in the hunt report.

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
