Come across this today.. wondering others thoughts and experiences..

Was interesting to read..

Since this was posted I have been on another 3 trips to Africa.. 2 in Zim., 1 in Cameroon..Based on my experiences there,, I'd stick with my post back then.. I have had the opportunity to use a .375H&H on Buff in Cameroon.. not super impressed.. while it did kill the buff, shoulder shot..he ran a good 150 yards before collapsing.. I tried to get another shot into him as he come back out of the brush.. sadly my Sako model 75 jammed and was unable to.. this actually could have been really bad for me.. as I ran forward towards the buffalo to clear some brush for another shot..my older PH was way behind me..

Lessons learned..

1. Will never hunt a buff again with anything less than one of my .416's... Use enough gun..

2. The PH is not always there to back you up.. so, you always need to be able to handle things yourself.. My PH assigned to me initally on that hunt should have retired 10 years ago.. he was in horrible shape.. and way to old to do that type of hunt....
