Being an ex PH and Outfitter or current PH and Outfitter doesn't mean that you have hunted all the species yourself as not everything is free in this world. But finally this past weekend I got the chance to bag my own buffalo on a proper hunt.
Good old buffalo cow they can be very wary and a good hard hunt as some of the big bulls really are not scared of much. Lions and wild dogs frequent the area and there is always leopard around.
Area was Phalaborwa, Limpopo.
Rifle used original Musgrave K98 in 375 H&H
Ammunition self loaded 300gr Woodleigh HD bullets at 2470fps
One shot was needed plumbing was shot off above heart and two big holes in the lungs
Weight retention was 78% but at the 375 speed and destruction inside the buffalo and all energy being transfered into the animnal I'm more than happy.
Used the same setup on two blue wildebeest in March and worked superb giving me confindence in the load.
