NAMIBIA: Buffalo With Daggaboy Hunting Safaris Wuparo

Congratulations thanks for the report
I always love to see people go after their dreams versus a life spent in regret. You moving to Alaska then going to Africa. Extremely well done and congratulations!!!!!
 
Congratulations on two great hunts. I am very fond of this area.

I hunted this area in 1999 as a 17 year old apprentice when it was still called Mamili game reserve.

I have returned twice to travel and explore the park with my family. It can become void of Buffalo and Elephant like you cannot believe and the next day it is full of animals that came in from Madumo or the Linyanti or other areas.
 
Great report and very nice buffalo.
How is Dawid ? I heard last march, when I was in Namibia, he had a stroke earlier but he felt better.
I hunted with him several times and I really like this man. His farm in the Khomas is also a great place to visit for Hartmann zebra hunting.
I hunted with Dawid in June of this year. He didn't say anything about a stroke, but he did take a nasty fall in Nashville after the SCI show. Accounts of the incident differ, but the gist of it was that he broke his collar bone and hurt his leg. He was sufficiently recovered to the point that the injuries did not affect our hunt.
 
Congratulations on a great hunt.

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.
