Shadows look right to me. Lit from the arseend. Arse lit up, back of ears, shadows of zebra consistent, trees' shadows and truck's shadows all consistent. JMO.




With the arse and the back of the ears lit up the shadow should be the other way around to the right of the photo.

I too think it was photoshopped. The length of the Zebras shadow is of of proportion compared to the trailers shadow.




The zebras shadow is to the right? It is obviously a late afternoon, early evening photo. To the left of the zebra, the shadow is from the trees.

Jaco, I thought the same too at first, but the van's shadow is also to the right.

JMO. And not arguing.

Saw an English guy hunted there, but not sure whether it was with a shotgun or rifle. I think it was with a rifle. The English guy was Michael Yardley, and the outfitter 'Baron' Eckhardt though I would have to check.

Nice and thick ivory. The shorter one must have been broken off at some point, also two-thirds the weight. (edit) I see the small print description says this below now.

NE's member and friend Mark - "Maximus" - with his cape buffalo bull shot this year.

Hunting cape buffalo is intense. Hunting cape buffalo with a handgun is VERY intense. Here's mine taken ay 33 yards with a Smith & Wesson .460 S&W Magnum revolver.

We got within range by stalking him as he lay resting under a tree. He was awake and looking around a little but very relaxed. At 33 what turned out to be 33 yards I got down on my knees and rested the revolver on low sticks. I sat as still as possible for some 30 minutes until he stood up and I fired almost immediately. The first shot put him down but he needed a few more to finish him off as quickly as possible.

I used Magtech 260gr flat point FMJ bullets in a handloaded round using Hodgdon H110 powder.
