Pablo Escobar's Hippos

More on the hippos from 'The Guardian':

https://www.theguardian.com/world/a...egacy-pablo-escobar-marauding-hippos-colombia

I have two thoughts: firstly, the article has put me off eating mangoes, at least for a while. Secondly, it's all shits and giggles with these animals - giving them pet names, and so on - but sooner or later someone is going to get killed.

On a personal note, the (Scottish) sea eagle was noted as long ago as the 17th. century as including children in its diet: at some stage a baby crawling on the beach is going to attract the attention of one of these predator-scavengers, and then the great cry will go up, 'We did na ken!'

I wonder whether anyone has ever fed cocaine to these hippos.
 
I see an opportunity for a sequel…

Reach out to the guys at Epic Outdoors.

They will steer you right for landowner tags and outfitters that have them.

I have held a membership with them for years and they are an invaluable resource.

Way better that asking random people on the internet...WAY better

Skydiver386,

Did you ever find your 30-06 CZ550? I own a fairly solid conditioned one, if you wanted to talk.
