I am trying this again, and hopefully have the two video clips on the proper setting so they can actually be viewed. :E Shrug:

Unfortunately, other than once for Spanish TV (!) :oops: I have never really had a videographer film and edit one of my hunts. But on my last hunt in Mozambique, a young PH accompanied my friend Boet and I on a successful late evening hunt for cape buffalo. This is in the Zambezi Delta "swamp" where two years before we were wading up to our thighs. This year, the ground was like concrete and a charcoal dust of burnt grass covered everything.

We were actually doing an afternoon scout for the next morning's hunt when we spotted several large black shapes a kilometer or more out across the flat. They were all large suggesting a bachelor group of bulls. The stalk required a couple of hours of hiking and crawling to get the wind in our favor - it was quite strong - and to ease into range.

There are two clips. The first is of the eventual shot at one of the two best dugga boys in the group. The second is of the follow up. There are no dramatic charges. The two clips are posted simply to portray a typical buffalo approach, shot and follow up. The rifle is an R8 in .375 with Leica scope and 300 gr A Frame.

The first shot was in the heart, and the second creased his brisket. He went perhaps twenty yards. He measured a 1/4" over 40 inches.

Hi Jay,

Hope you're well.

I'm headed your way in January.

Attending SHOT Show has been a long time bucket list item for me.

Finally made it happen and I'm headed to Vegas.

I know you're some distance from Vegas - but would be keen to catch up if it works out.

Have a good one.

Mark
