I like the pic of your "helmet" buffalo bull. Both horns broken can't be a very common occurrence, or is it? Not many trophy hunters would take one anyway. Interesting.

definitely an animal that has lived his life
I consider an old timer like him , lion shit , and in time that's what he would've been
in my eyes an awesome animal and every scar on his hide could tell a tale , but not a trophy ,for this little black duck
Buff hunting is extremely addictive, the rush is unbelievable, not often a first time buff hunter will take a scrum cap, but repeat hunters love to go for the ole scrum caps, often they are a lot more dangerous than other buffalo,,,stalking these ole buggers gives you one hell of a thrill..
I can only imagine(so far) , that stalking in on buffalo , whether it was a breeding herd of fifti or ,half a dozen grumpy ole dugga lads , being about as exciting as it could get , specially with my bow .
and im sure that them quarter back buffalos ,with no hooks left , to protect themselves , would as jumpy as a cat on a hot tin roof .
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.
