In the video below, Tim Sundles (owner of Buffalobore ammo) shot a Cape Buffalo 4 times with a 600 NE and it did not phase it. That's very concerning and also odd. I've seen videos where people have shot buff with 375, 416 and 458 and it knocks them down, they stumble, take off running and collapse. The 600 had no "shock effect" on the buff. Is this common or is it possible that too big a round and too slow a round does not create the same shock effect on buff that a 378 WBY or 416 RUM...

If and when the buffalo was secured the plan was to switch to bowhunting for Klipspringer. The buffalo hunt was on a...

We already had our two buffalos in the salt. For dinner we had buffalo steaks, and over the fire vividly revived events of previous days spent hunting buffalo, and shared few good laughs. An African sun downer, as it usually happens in the camp!

As the sun set behind the western horizon, one by one we went to sleep.
I stayed the last over fire pit, having the last beer, thinking of last few eventful days, and waiting for fire to diminish.
It became colder, and finally I retreated to my...
