Nice video, good shooting.
 
Good looking animal. Nice job. Bruce
 
Great video!
Thanks for creating and sharing your Waterbuck hunt.

Nice to see another techno geek on AH Herve.

Good shooting, with the rifle to.
 
Thanks for sharing, great shot.
 
Nice Video

Thank you for sharing
 
Painfully long video, lose all that useless gear and get down to business....

Good video quality though.

Dude, you have been watching to much whack and stack video on the hunting channel.
Your idea is a bunch of kill shots with slow mo repeats!?

Do share some of your own Namibia hunt video! I'd like to see your version of a good video.
 
Thank you Brickburn for answering my Report on Msmi27 comment.

The comment "painfully long video" is VERY unplesant considering the amount of hours I have put in creating this video.
Nobody forced this guy to watch it.
This is a HUNTING forum and this is a hunting video, meant to give an insight of the HUNT, not only of the SHOT.
This new member that has sent only 6 messages should be warned that AH is not the place for such unplesasant comments.
Thank you.
 
Great video Herve747 - it really took us along for the hunt. You really look very happy - and you should be too with such a great animal and great shot.

Cheers,

Fantastic video!

I enjoyed every second of it.
 
Nice video. My only complaint? You only shared one, we need more! haha
 
Nice video and super Waterbuck.

Can you share the details of the entry, exit and path of bullet?

What cartridge and bullet was used?

Thanks,


Tim

Hi Tim,

the bullet went in 20 cm back of the right shoulder, went through the right lung, top of the heart, left lung, and exited out from the left leg.

Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
To much to political shit, to little Africa :-)
Spending a few years hunting out west then back to Africa!

Hello. If you haven't already sold this rifle then I will purchase. Please advise. Thank you.

I doubt you are interested in any trades but I was getting ready to list a Sauer 404 3 barrel set in the 10-12 price range if your interested. It has the 404J, 30-06 and 6.5 Creedmoor barrel. Only the 30-06 had been shot and it has 7 rounds through it as I was working on breaking the barrel in. It also has both the synthetic thumbhole stock and somewhere between grade 3-5 non thumbhole stock
