My Question Answered

They just cracked off when the skin was moved. :)
 
Actually pretty close....I suspect when the bullet stretched the far hide it then rebounded back hard, breaking the petals as they bent over on themselves. The petals were all neatly broken off around the bullet. First time I've seen it but then again I've never really looked that hard before either. The glint of one just caught my attention. Learn something every day.
 
Looking forward to the full report. Sounds like you had a great time
 
Nice hippo, congrats !

I realize how hard the bug has bit. I’m on the cusp of safari #2 and I’m looking to plan #3 with my 11 year old a year from now while looking at my work schedule for overtime and computing the math of how many shifts are needed….

I'd like to get some too.

My wife (a biologist, like me) had to have a melanoma removed from her arm last fall.

Hallo Marius- do you have possibilities for stags in September during the roar? Where are your hunting areas in Romania?

I'm about ready to pull the trigger on another rifle but would love to see your rifle first, any way you could forward a pic or two?
Thanks,
