I have fallen in love with buffalo hunting. My hunt took me to Limpopo in full bloom, and the hills of the Northern Cape. Being certified addict, I am planning my next hunt. I am thinking I may like to experience a different place. Unfortunately, I cannot bring my rifle into Zimbabwe, so it is off my list for the time being. Tanzania is probably way outside of my budget.

Background
I’ve been trying to get a polar bear hunt accomplished for some time. I talked to several outfitters and some of the local guides that provide the hunts in Nunavut and I also almost booked in the Northwest Territories, near Banks Island. I even bought a polar bear replica mount several years ago at the Wild Sheep Foundation “Sheep Show” in anticipation of the trip. Unfortunately, then COVID got in the way.

Why hunt Buffalo. Why indeed. I don’t consider myself a thrill seeker. However, I have to challenge myself or I rapidly lose interest in life. So...

I have been trying to shoot a few animals with each of my old vintage rifles, use them on hunts not too far from home.

Taken a few nice Fallow Bucks over the years with my Gibbs 1893 Mannlicher Steyr in 6.5x53R, then Gibbs 1903 Mannlicher Schoenauer 6.5x54 (same load as 53R)

This year I took the WR Mannlicher Steyr 1893 in .375Ex 2 1/2in out for a few hunts & managed a representative Buck just on daylight, he was croaking nicely with half a dozen or more does around him.
