Sweet! I am looking forward to the photos and the report. While I'm sure he's pumped about the buff, stalking and gettig the kudu with BP is amazing.

Quoting
A two shot kill on a Cape buffalo and a 56 1/2 inch kudu is about as good as it gets on one trip

Great.
He's had Africa on the brain for years, cows and ranch duties tying him down.
Guess he found someone to baby sit'em so he could go.
Ditto on waiting for photos and stories.

I'm looking forward to the photos as well. Gunner said the bull was big, old, and had huge bosses. A 56 1/2 inch kudu is nothing to sneeze at, either.

All those years of shooting big gun, busting rocks on the ranch with his .505 Gibbs, etc., he finally goes over there and takes a Sharps...  Never would have thought that... DF

That's a light rifle for Gunner. Doesn't he have a 2-bore or 4-bore?

He's got a safe full of bigger bangers than a BP .45-70 Sharps, for sure. Gunner must have fallen into the dark side crevasse in a BIG way...  What if that ole buff had wanted a piece of gunner while the air was all full of white smoke, the smell of burnt gunpowder still strong...  DF

Gunner would've wrassled that buff to the ground like those bull-doggers do in the rodeos.
