Yes. Of over 200 warthogs collected (a good number of those were young and specially selected for the pot), this is my best. Right hand tusk = 16 & 1/8 inches, total SCI score 41 & 4/8. Taken on a large cattle ranch outside of Chivhu, Zimbabwe. I got a quick glimpse of it while hunting...

I notice the skulls are not whitened as is typically done. Did you add some sort of pigment for that effect?

Regarding numerous comments about hearing aids cost at COSTCO versus independent hearing aid centers; I've been told COSTCO audiologists are NOT paid on commission, but salaried . . .

For me Gerenuk is hands down the finest African game meat (but you won't find those in Namibia). Dik-Dik, also very good . . . eat an entire hind leg by yourself! Also speaking as someone who doesn't normally eat liver, I find gazelle liver excellent.

Hoping someone on the Forum happens to have some A-Square Dead Tough factory ammo in 458 Win Mag? I'm referring to Art Alphin's controlled expansion soft nose bullet used in their factory ammo. What is the bullet weight? These almost always exit a buffalo, but I managed to recover two bullets...

The below is copied & pasted in from my review posted to Weatherby's website . . . need I say more?!! I’ve been really pleased to see Weatherby expand their product line to a quite broad range of rifle options. But that presented a problem . . . I’d like to see, feel, grip, shoulder, a rifle...

"White Hunters" by Brian Herne

The big display at the main entrance had two each of the big five. Two elephants, two buffalo, two lion, two rhino (one black & one white), and two leopards . . both are leopards. The only "Jaguar" I saw was the replica at the taxidermy booth #2124, but there may have been others.

A very interesting hunt & adventure. By chance did you record the "squared measurements" of the bear? With green hide before salting, laid out flat, tip of front paw to tip of opposite front paw, and tip of nose to tip of tail? And skull measurements? It would be interesting to know how modern...

"I’m glad the craze never migrated to Namibia." (y)(y)(y)(y)(y)(y)(y)(y)(y)(y)(y)(y)(y)(y)(y)

I appreciate what you're saying . . . but then why doesn't the same rule apply for the same rifle scoped? (or does it?)

I suspect that is bloating of the entrails

I'll bet that all of us viewing the photos are thinking "How in the PHUK did THAT happen??!! My guess is no one witnessed the event, so unfortunately, we'll never know. But one can always play the parlor game of trying to solve the mystery. Here's my theory . . . (and you know any unproven...

"Spectracide BUG STOP" is available on Amazon, and I've seen it in the past in the big box home improvement stores. I would be wary of using permethrin spray as it might leave residue. I have used permethrin powder on salted and dried skins to prevent bug infestation, but there is no concern...
