I am leaving for my first cape buffalo hunt on Sunday and taking a break from packing and final fine tuning.. Lets see some pictures of your cape kills. As if I need to be any more pumped up. Bonus for bow kills as that is what I am using.
 
375 H&H off the sticks at 58 yards. Just like turning off the light switch. BTW Barnes 300 grain TSX with 75.5 grains of W760 and F215 primer.

75# Matthews 1028 grain arrow Iron Will 250 grain head
Crawled into 25 yards. One arrow. He went 150 ish yards no rifle follow up needed. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Great bull. I am using 250 grain iron wills and a 700 gr grizzly stick. Shooting a 80lb Hoyt.
 
I have another album somewhere in my attic, where the photos of my other Cape buffalo hunts are. But up until I can find it, will these do ?

I have shot most of them with .375 Holland & Holland Magnum rifles over the years (till now). Except for 3 of them, which I shot with a .458 Winchester Magnum.

My favorite bullets for them used to be Federal 300Gr Trophy Bonded Bear Claw controlled expansion factory loads (which Federal been listing as ”unavailable“ on their website ever since 2018). For future Cape buffalo hunts, the Barnes 300Gr TSX factory loads seem quite promising.

Thats what am talking about. You have had some adventures. Also liked your tiger story.

My life’s one great sorrow is that, even after 49 years of hunting in Africa… I still haven’t been able to secure a rhinoceros (my dream game of all time).

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...
Behind the scenes of taking that perfect picture.....

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
Ready for the hunt with HTK Safaris
