mount on Relive Taxidermy. I’ve seen piebald specimens before but the eyes are throwing me off. Caribou has light eyes and given this might be a piebald I guess it eyes could have been close to this color. Anyone know if this bull was really this way?

Just a Game of Thrones fan! :ROFLMAO:
That was funny! Might want to ask the taxidermist about the eyes. I'm sure they weren't there when he received the cape. Might be a new sub-species of Catahoula Kudu? For those with nothing better to do google Catahoula hound or leopard dog - Take it from a South Louisianan - amazing resemblance.

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

This compares favorably to 7 Rem Mag. with less powder & recoil.

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.
