ZAMBIA: BOWHUNT: Dugga Boy In The Salt

Wow awesome old battler there for sure, well done, even more awesome with Bow & Arrow tackle .

I love hunting Hippo on land but a few make it back to the water to die as I suspect as happened here & took a while to recover him ?

Hence you need a car Jack to get his mouth open ?

Love your picture. Great croc and especially with a bow. Would love to hear the story. From a blind? How far away? Shot placement? How hard to recover. Details would be wonderful. Congrats

Congratulations on a great trophy.
 
They had a tuskless on quota……”had”….

Buff, hippo, croc & tuskless in 7 days with a bow.

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris
