[AZDAVE]

Have a great trip, would love to be there in camp! So will have to live the experience through you all's eyes and words. Shoot straight and shoot often.

I've shot a tuskless Elephant and a Bushbuck so far. Buffalo has been tough, but still chasing them!
The R8 375 put them both down with no issues. The 300gr CEB solid shot completely through the Elephant skull and out the other side. She went straight down and the two insurance shots brought no further reaction. Internet is very slow here, so I'm unable to post pics. More to come!

Buffalo down today! Nice old bull, estimated to be 14 years old! We were hunting in a very thick area, and when we spotted the bull, all I could see clearly was his head. So a 300gr CEB solid through the brain settled the matter very quickly! Two more insurance shots through the chest and all was calm. The Buffalo hunting is very tough here, with a lot of miles walked, but very rewarding in the end.
Off for Hippo and Hyena next.

Looks like the guys got a few great old buff in the last 24 hours. Keep it up.

Now all we had to do at DFW is go out to the counter to give the Qatar agent our paperwork and sign the same. Heck this man was so very helpful he already had everything ready and printed off. All we had to do is sign the document. Then He called Down to their baggage department to confirm they had our guns and sure enough they did. Qatar has some excells t employees.

Yep.. The Qatar guys at DFW are rockstars...

If anyone ever has any issues with Qatar at DFW, ask for Mohammad.. that guy is super helpful, super friendly, and works his butt off for you.. (he also happens to be my neighbor ... he lives 1 subdivision over from me in the same suburb)...

Toby I see you used a solid for your buff versus an expanding one. I am on your identical hunt with Philip only same time next year. Appreciate your thoughts on the solid versus expanding. Congratulations!!!

@TOBY458 Please remind York to send my shirts with Charlie please

Great bull- say hi to Stan, Zvito and Sunny Boy for me if you run into them.

 

[buck wild]

Reports are: 2 tuskless ele, 4 buff bulls, 2 bushbuck, 1 waterbuck, 1 hyena, 1 civit

Looks like at least Philip can come home now

I actually used a 300gr TSX for the Buffalo. I used a CEB solid for the elephant. As well as those TSX penetrate, I don't see much of a need for a solid on a Buffalo.

My talley as of today is, Buffalo, Tuskless, Bushbuck, Baboon, and Hyena. The other guys have done very well also. Today is our last day. It's gone by fast!
