Sounds like you prefer the 416 over the 458? what made you decide on taking your ele with the 416?

Any idea what happened to the giraffes head? obviously non-typical, but do you think it was damage or genetic?

Curious to know what your plan is for this gun or if you have any upcoming hunts lined up. 460 seems like a bit of overkill for Alaska, but I like your style and wouldn't mind picking up a 460 and doing something similar....I live in Texas BTW so anything over a .270 is technically overkill for...

That is a laminate stock? looks amazing!

Awesome, I knew this board would have the answer.

I just recently bought a Model 70 in 458 Win Mag from this site and have a question for the brain power on this board. Instead of taking it to a smith and drilling out the butt stock for a recoil reducer and milling out the foregrip for weights, where would you guys go to look for a synthetic...

I have used several processors in South Texas and I am not sure that I have ever seen them freeze a whole carcass. I like to walk in with my boys to look at the trophy's they have when we drop animals off. I would say that they hand the entire carcass at or very near the freezing point, but it...

I am not a buyer at the moment, but I am curious to know if any part of the animals from these cull hunts is exportable? Does the fact that they are a "Cull" hunt change what is exportable?

I think with a unique trophy like that, you have to leave it in the skull. It gives a much better frame of reference to how unique the mount is versus the ivory just laying on a table or on a tusk shield.

They should sell the hunts. Probably get some takers.

Couple of questions, where did he have it made and how do you import something like that? I suspect he just brought it in and didn't declare it? I may never get to shoot an elephant, but would do something just like that if I did.

I used my .300 WM shooting 200 grain Hornady Precision Hunter ELDX bullets. It was a bang-flop situation with a dead cat under the tree. Another hunter in camp had a scope malfunction that occurred after we shot the rifles in and nearly blew the offside front leg off. Follow up was a 2 hour...

Any pictures of his teeth? love seeing them broken down and old like that.

I appreciate that the title of your post didn't say "Show us your COUGAR mounts". It would have been entertaining, but certainly could have gone in a much different direction!

My first trip to Namibia was to Dirks place. I think that it might be the closest place I have been to what might be heaven. The entire trip was fantastic and Dirk was an amazing host. They could have been pulling my leg, but I believe I was the first client that Dirkie his son guided on a solo...
