Hello fellow hunters,

As hunters, knowing the animals we hunt is important. It is for this reason that I would like to start a thread to provide some basic information per species for anybody who is interested. I will add new animals as we go, starting from smallest to largest according to Rowland Ward.

Please feel free to correct any information that may have changed or is incorrect.

I didn't realize that the S. Grysbok had the smallest horns, although I thought mine would make the book. This is a great thread. I've had fun telling people that my two inch Grysbok was by far the largest animal I shot on safari. Then I tell them I also took hippo and buffalo. They get really confused. LOL

Until this guy posts something on pay it forward free I would avoid him at all costs.

If it hasn't sold by next week I might be interested. Stock would have to be changed along with some other items. I'm already having a 416 Rigby built so money is a tad bit tight.

Hey pal! I'll take all the .375 bullets if they're available.
Thanks!
