The type of stuff you come across hunting for a living.
Over the years I came to the conclusion that there is three types of Professional Hunters.
The HUNTER.
The RIFLEMAN
The RIFLEMAN HUNTER.

This trip it was the hunter.
His rifle was just a tool and no more.

The rifle was held together just for incase.
We saw it submerged in the swamp four times.
Not once cleaned
Also never fired.

But I was confident that if he needed to, he would have used it well.

Ghost ring.
My choice when it come to fast close range back up work.
Fast? Ooo it is super fast!
Accurate? Taking a Topi at 260 yards should be proof enough.

Maasailand
I was lucky to snap this photo of Maasai boys just leisurely walking past us in the middle of nowhere on there way to who knows were.

Maasai boys is expected to look after the family livestock from the day they can walk. Facing many dangers protecting there livestock and themselves.

Lion, leopard and hyena are everywhere.

Maybe this is what is missing in the rest of the world. The unprotected realities.

Went and found the oldest bull we could.
And what a beast.
Stalked up to about 40 paces of were he was bedded down.
Took 3 stones in his direction to get his attention and got him jumped to his feet facing us.
He did not look happy with these people in his territory.
Bit the .375 H&H changed his mind.
2 more shots and he was down.

First morning, second sable we saw.
Proof that thinking do better than just doing a cavalry charge.
He was in a horrible spot, with no approach or opertunity for a shot.
So we decided to back up and wait.
Did not take too long for him to make a move and came right to were we were.
One shot at 70 yards with a .375 H&H dropped him on the spot.

No need to reinvent the wheel.
The .375 H&H can do it all!
From point blank to 500 yards
The tiniest to the biggest.
I have witnessed more one shot kills on dangerous game from a .375 H&H, than all the other big bore calibers combined.
But, and a big but....
Nothing beats the feeling going after those that can scratch, bite and stomp with a Big Bore rifle.

Nothing beats getting a 150 year old girl back in the saddle.
I have taken game out to 200 yards with this load. 1750ft.s for the right barrel and 1680ft.s for the left. (Left barrel is too pitted to push the cast bullets faster.)

Kudu hunting in the Eastern Freestate province of South Africa.
Last place one would think of for a good kudu hunt.
But probably one of the best I have seen.
All free range, protected by some good farmers.
