Kevin, Nice write up! Thank you for taking us along on your adventure.
I am guessing you are very satisfied with the performance of your new double?

Hi Dave, I am indeed. It is light to carry, is extremely accurate and well regulated and it would appear to be the ideal buffalo double. I couldn't be happier.

Thanks for all the feedback guys, it is a privilege to share that wonderful place with you all.

Congratulations on a great hunt! Your well written story makes me want to go back to Hammond and pursue buffalo again. Thanks for painting those pictures in my mind.

I was beginning to resign myself to not getting a buff this time. My latest son-in-law is mad keen to come to Zimbabwe in April to get a buff and a 5kg tiger fish to earn his Carruthers Golden Tie award, and I could hunt a buff with him then.
So we set off nice and early with the air rifle and Daniel's zoom lens to do some birding and pot a few doves to lighten things up. Traveling down the now familiar track and there at the water hole was a herd, and as soon as David glassed them he declared that this was a new group we hadn't seen before that had probably crossed over from the southern boundary. And there amongst them was a candidate, nice and old and hard, but ooh so borderline. So Daniel took some photos and since we couldn't shoot near the water hole anyway the plan was to leave them, study the photo and maybe find them again later if it checked out.
So, what do you think? 36 or under all good. A half an inch over and it may as well have been a 45. Big nyaya because there wasn't a trophy quota left this season. Hmmmm.

I’ve got him at about 35 31/64ths but I could be off 1/64th so go ahead and shoot! Lol.
