First Cape Buffalo
I have had the privilege to hunt with Limcroma four times thus far. This past trip, which I got back from this past Sunday, I hunted my first buffalo. Hunting buff is absolutely addicting. I don't think I will ever go and hunt Africa again without having buff on the agenda. Just wanted to share a couple pics of my buff. Ready to get him home and in the trophy room!


Buffalo Painting
My wife has an artist in her side of the family, she knows how my son and I enjoy hunting buffalo so she got him to do a painting, it's 5' x 4'.
We are planning the design of a new hunting cabin, it will certainly find a place on the wall.

In retrospect, I put these issues down to the camp's water which came from the river and was purified by reverse osmosis. I usually drank bottled water but would drink water from the pitcher on the table...

At what point/caliber is a recoil pad necessary vs a steel butt plate?
I’m curious on the consensus of this question. I have shot 12 gauge magnum loads, 30-06 and up to 45/70 without a recoil pad. Every other rifle I own that is larger had a buttpad. Curious if anyone has shot a 375 H&H or higher with just a steel or horn buttplate. If so, how bad was it?
