HAPPY FATHERS DAY!

Happy Fathers Day all, I'm blessed to still have my father and hunt with him each year. I took him on float hunt in AK last year and I drove back down the ALCAN hwy with him. I missed a few more days of work but I thought who gives a damn, you never know how long you will have them around, one of my best decisions I've ever made.
I'm in Africa right now with my oldest son and the only thing that could make it better is my other son and the "old man" were here also! I took a fine bushbuck this morning that forever be none as my Father's Day Bushbuck! Lol

That is freaking awesome!!!
 
This has been fun to read all the way from the first post. Great read!
 
Good stuff guys. Love the pics and all of your thoughts. I'm very blessed to have a great family, and my dad is my hero. He is 84 yrs old next week, the most generous man you will ever meet, the toughest and kindest guy you'd ever meet, introduced me to hunting in 1971 at age 11, and most importantly loves God and introduced me to Him at an early age. God Bless you dad!

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.
