SOUTH AFRICA: Buffalo Hunt With Ken Moody Safaris

[Huntndog]

I just got back from SA. This was my first buffalo hunt.
I highly recommend Ken Moody Safaris. They definitely know what they are doing. There were seven of us and every single one of us got a buffalo.

Congratulations on those great looking animals!

Hopefully one day I'll get to go and kill a really nice Cape Buffalo.

How many properties were the 7 of you hunting? How many opportunities at different buffalo did you have or could have had?

Congrats on a great hunt!

The main property was where we stayed and was 30,000 acres. There were several other properties that we hunted on as well. I wouldn’t be surprised if they had access to at least 100,000 acres.
I chased a group of five bulls around for two days before getting on the track of this one. He measured 44 1/8” and they said after weighing the carcass that on the hoof he would be right at a ton.
If you visit their Facebook page you can see what we all got. Everyone was on buffalo every day. A couple of great crocs and a bunch of plains game were taken as well. Food,hospitality and expertise were all great. The PH s and trackers were outstanding. We had a wonderful time.
The only real downside was the trip home through Chicago. UNBELIEVABLY long lines at customs. It was worth it! Trip of a lifetime.
I promise Ken Moody is the real deal.

It is a .416 Rigby with 400 gr. Barnes tsx. I didn’t get the bullet from the Buffalo,but the one taken from the sable was a perfect mushroom.
Others had the same experience with these bullets.
