I posted this on my Gun Notes and thought I would here too

I haven’t mentioned this before but now that the dust has settled I will do so. In 2018 I shot a monster Cape Buffalo in South Africa with my 450 GNR encore pistol. One shot using Hornady’s new 500 grain DGX, Dangerous Game Expanding bullet. I shot it a second time as insurance. The buffalo on an early scoring looked like it was going to be the new #1. Now it looks like #2 probably. But I am happy just with a monster Cape Buffalo. Spring ahead a year and in early June I received a huge box from South Africa and Life Form taxidermy. Inside were my Tssesebe, my Red lechwe and my Cape buffalo. But there was one problem. Upon close examination the buffalo wasn’t mine. It was a great buffalo but not mine. My buffalo’s horn boss met in the middle. This one had a 2” space between each side of the boss. Mine measured 99” tip to tip. This one is 80”. Not my buffalo. Probably a top 20 in the world buffalo, but not mine. Life Form started looking immediately for my buffalo. After a month of searching, no buffalo. So they did the right thing. Next may I will be hunting another Cape Buffalo, with the cost of the hunt, the taxidermy and shipping on them. And to make things better, they said it would cost them about $5000 to get the buffalo crated up, run thru customs and shipped back to Africa. So what do we do with this beautiful Cape Buffalo mount? They said, Keep IT. It would cost them too much to ship it back. So I have a $25,000 Cape Buffalo shoulder mount. What do I do with it? If you want it, I will sell it to you. For $1500 plus shipping I will crate it up and ship it to you. If you have a business where a huge Cape Buffalo would look good, give me a call. 928-527-4100 for more info and pictures. In Africa that big buffalo would cost you a minimum of $20,000 plus about $5000 for the taxidermy and shipping. I will sell it to the first one who wants it for $1500 plus the shipping. I figure you are looking at around $2500 total. A helluva deal.

I any of the folks going to the HHC want it, I can bring it with me in the van.
