I got back from my trip about a month ago, and have internet issues ever since, so I just got these loaded recently. I was hunting with Pro Hunt Zambia, and the PH I was with actually became a member of the fire after our discussions (Zambian). He did a tremendous job, and was a pleasure to hunt with. But here are a few pics. Maybe follow up with more later. ![[Linked Image]](http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll19/Sandamer/Africa/100_0309.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll19/Sandamer/Africa/100_0298.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll19/Sandamer/Africa/100_0371.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll19/Sandamer/002.jpg) The last picture is the bullet recovered from the Buffalo, it is a Barnes TSX 400 gr. and worked like a charm. Thanks for looking

Looks like you had a very memorable hunt. Post some more pics when you can.

Looks a lot like Zimbabwe! I must go there soon, might try to hunt with Zamiban myself. Could Zambia be the new Zimbabwe i.e. a good place for regular guys and gals to hunt Dangerous game without being super rich? Nice piggie there, for sure. What kind of horn length did you measure on the buff?

The rifle was an Empire .404 Jeffrey with a Schmidt Bender Zenith 1.1-4 scope.
I did not measure any of the animals, never really got the urge to. I was more interested in the experience than the numbers. I will have plenty of time to measure when they get back here I figured.

Yes it is a Puku. Chased him for a couple hours, shot him with a Tikka T3 with 150gr noslers. Tough animals in Africa, he took 3 SOLID shots.

Ask Sandamer about the pig he missed? It was a horse.
