Great hunt and video. That shot on. The hippo couldn’t have been better and what a buffalo. Huge rounded boss and worn broken horns. Damn, that’s a bull!
It was interesting to see the fervency with which the villagers chopped up the hippo.

They said to my PH before the hunt, "Please come here and shoot a hippo, Mr. Johnny, we would like to remember the taste of meat."

Yes sir, there was a lot of fervency over that meat. A 4-ton carcass, and after about 75 minutes nothing left but a blood smear on the grass......

Thank you!

I was shooting North Fork bullets in 375 H&H.

I used the 350gr SS bullet for the first shot on the buffalo, and the 350gr CPS for the backing shots on the buffalo and for the hippo shot.

MV was about 2260fps for both.

First of all congratulations on such an amazing hunt and out come. Really interested in your bullet choice as this is what I have chosen for when I get there. Question: did you get any pass through with the CPU’s? Cheers!

ps love the touch of getting the kids to sign your journal very classy touch. Man those kids eh have not a bean but smiles for a change in pace on a life of very hard graft.

Thank you! I appreciate the kind comments.

The North Fork CPS gave a pass-through on everything except the hippo skull.....
