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!Screenshot 2026-06-02 094459.png

How Common Are Gastric Issues Post-African Hunt

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?
