hntr58, I too am heading to Argentina for water buffalo - July. Killed one many years ago with the 375 JDJ. I'm more concerned about jumping through the hoops getting my handguns in the country..... Good luck on your hunt and I look forward to seeing pics. Cheers

Lefty, Look at Poncho. The shirt is very comfortable. Cheers

With a lot of practice, it's actually easier/quicker to find the target compared to a handgun scope with longer eye relief.

Thanks for posting Dick! Karen and I just returned from hunting the Danikal Desert in Ethiopia where I took lesser kudu, Abyssinian bushbuck, and Salt's dik dik. We then traveled south for the Abyssinian kudu. It was a great experience in wild Africa. I was using an H-S Precision in 270 WSM -- longest shot was 170 yards with the others less than 100. When you hear the term "human encroachment" it certainly applies to Ethiopia as you can't get away from all the people -- regardless how remote the hunting area.

I hunted there once on a handgun hunt. My roommate was Larry Kelly. Our hunt was not during the rut and very few deer were taken.

A good friend of mine showed me pictures recently of a huge black bear he took in NC. He told me he has never seen so many big bears! I started to ask him who he hunted with -- he mentioned the outfit is raising their price to 20k. Last year they charged 15k. I didn't inquire further....

I have three Nosler pistols and they all wear rifle scopes. Ditto on H-S Precision handguns I hunt with. They also have effective muzzle brakes. For hunting, I use Leupold 4.5-14x with B&C reticle. Once I find the target in the scope, I back off a bit, away from the optic. Keeping the crosshairs in the center of the donut - all is good. It takes some practice getting comfortable/familiar with this set-up but it works.

Sorry for the delayed response -- been off-grid a few days hunting moose in Newfoundland. I appreciate the heads-up. Thanks!
