http://i991.photobucket.com/albums/af33/kskayn/RIMG0109_zps9fa25d55.jpgI think this is my favorite. We spotted a nice bull courting a cow about a half mile away. Stalking up to them, our tracker spotted this guy's ivory tips above an acacia bush. He stepped out about 60 yards away. He presented a perfect broadside shot. We found him expired about a hundred yards away.

![[Linked Image]](http://i40.tinypic.com/2cq1af7.jpg) A true bang flop kinda thing here! He was upside down with his feet in the air before the rifle was out of recoil. ![[Linked Image]](http://i40.tinypic.com/o8dohk.jpg) Who says Cape Buffalo are so tough? This guy was so lazy he wanted to get in the truck with us and go for a ride!

Great trophies and photos guys. I have a question, how do you get these nice big photos on here. I have a photo bucket account and as much as I try can only get the url# or little photos uploaded. Thanks for any help. Kevin
