Bob, Some great trophies and very fond of the African Porcupine which always makes a spectacular addition to a trophy room. Also it always makes me happy to see members wearing their AH cap on their hunting safari!

Here's one I thought you might enjoy. A clip of Deb a little nervous but shooting a Big Bore for the first time, 458 Win Mag.

 

[enysse]

How close was she to the target?

 

[Bobpuckett]

How close was she to the target?

The target a small red brick was about 40 yards away. when the 450gr solid brass bullet hit it, it turned to a small cloud of red dust.:rock:

An incredible hunt, a great partner to share it with. What could be better. I am happy for you both.

Very happy for you and Deb. What a fantastic hunt, going to be a nice taxidermy bill but oh well, it's worth it. I hope these memories stay with you for a long time brother. Congrats to the both of you.
