Some outstanding Puku taken recently along the Kafue River in Zambia. My son is holding one skull which is a touch under the world record.

All very excellent but the one taken by J.E. Hughes with a double rifle is my favorite (not because of some particular characteristic of the animal itself but, because of the rifle use to bag it).
It appears that the hunter has wrapped the barrels with cord or leather boot laces, about where one holds on during the "safari carry" method of balancing the rifle over one shoulder, muzzles forward, such as a carpenter might carry a piece of lumber across a construction site.
Presumably this hunter had wrapped the barrels to avoid burning his hand, during long marches in the hot Africa sun.
