405 Rhino poached .. sad !

Rhino horn is also highly coveted in Yemen for the making of dagger handles for coming of age young men. Called a janbia or janbiya the daggers are very much a status symbol and depending on the type of handle material, increase the status of the wearer. Rhino horn is right at the top for value. To me that makes more sense than the very dubious medicinal properties claimed by some.
 
I reckon we mix Teledrex with Yellow road line paint and paint every Rhino's horn,,,then make it known that they're poisoned. :)

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
To much to political shit, to little Africa :-)
Spending a few years hunting out west then back to Africa!
