Time - It seems the older I get, the more I must leave things unfinished.

I have a Hill Country 6.5 Creedmoore, primarily a range gun; but I used it on an antelope at 352 yds. He was standing still, head forward towards me, with enough angle to get a line across both shoulders. 147 gr Hornaday ELD Match - 2695 fps - hit just ahead of the left shoulder and exited just...

Kevin, I see a future for you as a supplier of these on the forum. Any info or link to manufacturer?

As I stated - 3 rifles - no problem. I've taken my double and 2 scoped rifles with room to spare.

Listing for a friend. Remington Model 700 375 H&H mag with Kahles Helia C 1.5 - 6 X 42 I know nothing about this rifle - please don't shoot the messenger. $3500.00/offer Located in east Texas

Rifles/shotguns into Murray leather "slips", then load those into a Tuffpac, belt, jackets, sweatshirts, etc to fill in empty spaces and I've never had a problem. I've carried as many as 3 rifles that way.

The taxidermist didn't do a remeasure, the only numbers are from Africa. I need to find an SCI measurer in the Tyler area

Thanks. The tusks in the mount are cast reproductions - makes the mount lighter and would give the option of displaying the originals in another manner or in the case of my rhino, lock the originals in a safe. The hippo skull has the original tusks, the rhino mount and skull both contain...

Maybe he WAS Jaco?

Tom, Sorry to hear of your lack of success. Awesome pictures; it had to be an incredible experience. You said two of the words which would keep me away, hiking and camping. Congratulation on the wolf. Hopefully one day we will both have something to celebrate. Best of luck on your next hunt.

I've hunted with a couple Jaco's - going to need a bit more info.

The PH suggested the possibility of a fight at a young age. I haven't looked closely at the skull to see if there is evidence of remodeling. If it was a fight, maybe I should hang a sign on him reading, "You should see the other guy"

You mean Alfred?
