Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Africa Cape Buffalo - One shot

I just returned from Chiredzi, Zimbabwe. I shot a cape buffalo the last day I was there. Hunting was tough - it was over 100 degrees every day and the wind was swirling constantly. We got busted a lot by the wind. Not too many dugga boys, bulls were constantly joining herds, because the ladies were receptive. Saw some big herds 150+, and it was hard to stalk because you had 300 eyes looking at you. It rained constantly the last couple days, so I'm going to have to get my rifle reblued. All in All - great fun.
