OP NDHuntr Campfire Regular Joined: Apr 2006 Posts: 588 NorthDakota	Hunting in South Africa, on the Balule Conservancy near Kruger. Model 70 375 H&H Stainless, mid 90's vintage. Loaded with 300 grain TSX at 2530fps. Got him at 33 yds left side quartering on. First shot just inside of the left shoulder took out the top of the heart and parts of both lungs. We pushed in on him quickly. He wasn't dead yet so I got to put a few more in him at about 15yds as he tried to get up and come towards us. Luckily he was too badly hurt to get back up on all 4 feet. Exciting non the less. One of the petals the recovered barnes is laid flat against the shank and the others are peeled back as you see them. Non of them passed all the way thru. First one recovered under the off hide. Others where shot into him when he was down and trying to get up. One exit from back up shot by the PH with 500 swift from 458 Lott. Would appreciate if someone could let me know how to post a pic so that it shows up instead of having to click on the attached files. Thanks. Do or do not, there is no try.

Thanks. All I did to get your photo to show up, was to use the image attachment button avail which adds the [img] [/img] front and rear of the image url in the new image gallery. I'm not explaining it well. Sorry. I'm just getting familiar with Rick's new image gallery myself. Great buff, congratulations!!! What a hunt! Guy

Affirmative NDH,when I got back home I started looking at all these toys up on jack stands and battery tenders and HD hogs flopped over on their kickstands on battery tenders as well and thought, damn, there's enough crap sitting in here too sell and have me heavily hunting Africa every year till I'm dead. It is however an incurable sickness once you go ;] Trump Won!
