I agree. That is one awesome Cape Buffalo. Those bosses are great.I didn't even know that you could hunt buffalo with anything less than 375 H&H.

Congratulation and nice job.

Don,
Technically, you are not supposed to, but as a target of opportunity while carrying another rifle, the PH may allow you to take the shot. Also, sometimes if the hunter has a disability, such as a messed up shoulder and can't shoot the big boomers, they may let you hunt with what you can handle. Not much policing of these "rules" in Africa typically.

That's a beautiful bull, Congratulations to your buddy!

The PH seems to have a look of "That went smoother than expected!"
