Just booked (my 1st Buff hunt)

[260rem]

I just booked my 1st NT Buffalo hunt just, 7 days no trophy fees and no bag limits awesome.
There will also be huge Boars & Scrub Bulls so it should make for an action packed week, it"™s damn unfortunate that I can only take 5kg"™s of ammo on the flight.

I have three main goals this trip.
1) Kill a trophy Buff
2) Kill a Buff with a 12ga using a DG slug
3) Get some top rate Ivory

I really want to use some of the excellent new range of 12ga DG slugs to drop a Buff, and no I won"™t be totting off alone to claim my prize. I will choose my target very carefully and have 2 big guns backing me up, and will pass up any shot if I"™m not 100% sure of it being both humane and safe to take with a slug.

The 12ga SXS also happens to be my go-to gun for Pigs in close country, with shots under 40 yards it"™s like the touch of death on anything that grunts and squeals. It also ensures that the action is always fast and furious = fun.

I plan on taking the 375H&H and 50 rounds of 270gr Woodleigh PP"™s for the buff and Scrub bulls as well as 100 rounds with 220gr Taipan FP"™s for the Boars. To that I will add say 20-30 12ga slugs and buy 4 boxes of Buckshot up there.

I hope this is enough ammo and it"™s a real shame that I don"™t have room for the 260 but we all have to make sacrifices. But it"™s still going to be fun.

sounds awesome 260,

Could you post a picture of the type of buffalo you're after??

it"™s damn unfortunate that I can only take 5kg"™s of ammo on the flight.

I like your thinking there--sounds like you might get in a lot of "trigger time". Good luck!!!
