just heard from the trucking company. My mounts are
on a truck that will leave San Francisco in the morning. Hopefully either Friday or Monday it should make it here. Three of my 4 will be in the shipment, including my Cape Buffalo

My Bontebuck required a Cites permit which hadn't come thru yet so it will be in Colleen's shipment next year.

Your Cape buffalo is awesome
At least until Colleen’s arrives... lol
amazingly they both score almost the same, with Colleen's
scoring 5/8" more than mine. Her's should score well in the rifle book while mine is in the handgun book.
Colleen's Cape Buffalo..

Mine was taken with my custom Encore in 450 GNR with the new Hornady 500 grain DGX (Dangerous Game Expanding), while Colleen's was taken with her 458 caliber rifle I built for her on her first African hunt back in '93.
Ebony stock and real ivory grip cap and forend tip.

She used a Hornady .458 caliber 350 grain soft point on her's. One shot on each of ours put the buffalo down, and a second was taken to keep them down.
