Thank you sir!Nice shooting there bob....![]()
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."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.
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!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.
Thank you! I appreciate the kind comments.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.
Brilliant thank you for the reply. I’m guessing these are roll your owns ie hole loads. Very impressive on the hippo. Nice to see that your PH still gets tte adrenaline up on a shoot!Thank you! I appreciate the kind comments.
The North Fork CPS gave a pass-through on everything except the hippo skull.....

Thank you @Troubleshooter, I appreciate the comments!Congratulations on an outstanding safari. Hippo and buffalo both -- wow! And I enjoyed the very well produced video. I especially appreciated the manner in which the local villagers were woven-in to the story.
Yeah, I think one would be well advised to stay out of the arc of those axes!
I am somewhat perplexed by all the references to "Tide" however. Certainly understand brand-loyalty, but I usually just buy whatever detergent is on sale. Are you perhaps employed by Procter & Gamble?
