The Cape Buffalo Is Home

This week I received back from taxidermy the European mount for the Cape Buffalo that I shot in South Africa in August 2022. I included the rifle in the photo for scale. The little Mauser is 45" long, and the horns measured 45-6/8" on the outside spread. These massive horns are a testimony to the power and beauty of the Cape Buffalo and will help me remember that hunt as long as I live.

You can watch the hunt for this buffalo at the Hampel's Gun Co. YouTube channel and come to our shop to see it by yourself.
