No more buff hunting for me. Just sold my 375 Ruger & all the accessories. I'm 68 & have 2 bulls---I think that's enough for me. If I go back over it will be for an eland & poor man's buffalo. My 30/06 will be with me. Bob

I'll loan you my 375 H&H when you change your mind, Bob. wink

I am 76 and just returned from Namibia in August. Got my first and probably last buffalo ( 44 inch bull), a hippo, mountain zebra, and a warthog. Hunted wit Omujeve Safaris. They did an absolutely awesome job of taking care of me, my wife, and grandson. Hunted with Peter as our PH.

I'm 68 and I got my second buffalo last September. When you are there and change your mind I bet your PH has a .375 you can borrow.

I’m taking a good friend on his first African hunt this August. 2 buffalo in the Selous. He’s only 79 and I’m confident it won’t be his last Buffalo hunt.
