SOUTH AFRICA: Very Big Free Range Buffalo In South Africa

[rafter3]

I just got back from an amazing free range buffalo hunt in South Africa. My wife and I hunted with Ernest Dyason and @Spear Safaris in the Greater Krueger area, where I was able to harvest 3 buffalo with my .500 NE double rifle (first for me with double) and my wife shot her first buffalo with a .375 H and H. All of these bulls were set 12 plus years old and we saw tons of buffalo. They ranged in size from right at 36 inches to a whopping 44.5 inch bull! If you are interested in hunting Greater Krueger or other countries like Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Botswana and the list goes on, get with Ernest you won't be disappointed. He is a sponsor here or pm me for his contact info. I will be posting pics of each buffalo in this thread. Here is the thread that will feature my 44.5 inch bull!!

Ernest is very good, both as a hunter and great all around guy with whom to spend time.

Congratz on a nice buff. Looking forward to hearing about yours and your wife's buffalo.

Who is the maker on your double?

I posted the other three Buffalo in a different thread. The rifle is a Merkel 160 AE in 500 nitro.

Great buff. Which concession did you hunt?

Greater Krueger area there are a few preserves that allow hunting on a limited basis
