Chaps,

When in Africa it is well worth taking a few solids for odd opportunist trophy.

Need an undertaker - not a taxidermist.
 
Based on the title alone I was going to say there is no such thing as over kill.

Never mind....
 
Great close up picture, a lesson to everyone.
 
Dead is Dead

Shot placement, could have saved the day...
 
I will refuse to be your taxidermist mate.....!!!!

Good shoot.....!!!!!
 
Looks like most things I've seen shot in the face with a weatherby, it is sure to clear the sinus!
 
Clear and remove the sinus looks like to me.
 
If I recall the calibre was .338/378. A neck shot was not an option. The same calibre blew up a Jackal and Duiker. A solid would have done the trick.
 
Dr. Kevin Robertson, AKA: Doctari505, addresses this very subject in great detail within his excellent book; "Africa's Most Dangerous", (especially on Page 94).
Said book is about hunting African buffaloes however, the affliction commonly known as "Velocity Madness" can be a real issue in regards to other species as well, such as shown on the above posted crocodile photo.
 
Thats a bigger hole than a .375 on a Springbok. Wow!
 
Dead dead and triple dead!

I would be interested in it if you pass. Please send me the info on the gun shop if you do not buy it. I have the needed ammo and brass.
Thanks,
Ross
