Those mountain Zebra's are my favorite, I hope to get one for myself someday!!
 
I took a nice Burchell Zebra while hunting with Wik Coetzee at @GAME 4 AFRICA SAFARIS in 2018. I had a flat skin rug made with it.

Here are a couple from Tanzania. The first was shot by my son on Maswa North. Second one in Mlele, western Tanzania. I love the Tanzanian ones as they have ‘clean’ hides with no shadow stripes. The Burchells I shot in Zimbabwe has ample shadow stripes.

It was an oryx that first got me serious about actually going to Africa but I was totally uninterested in zebra, maybe even a little turned off by the idea. During the planning, though, something odd happened and I starting losing interest in oryx and thinking seriously about making a zebra a priority. On Day 2 we spotted a lone gemsbok with a single horn - the closest thing to a living unicorn possible so the PH and I jumped off of the truck and made the stalk. Almost in range, he whispered, it's an old cow. Like an emotional little child, I totally lost interest. I tapped the PH on the back and whispered that I had changed my mind. "It's your safari," he said. I looked for something to salvage the effort. I found some zebra.

We had 50 zebra to choose from. This stallion left before I could get a clear shot but he came back...

I probably wouldn't remember saying it but I had a go pro stuffed in my shirt pocket when I told my PH, "I like this zebra." I still like this zebra.

I am righthanded, so not interested in the rifle, but I have a 375 RUM and 350 gr bullet loading data is very hard to come by. If you could reply with information regarding your loads I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you, Ray Boone, Leavenworth, WA

Hello - I was looking at your post from several years ago regarding the Winchester 300 H&H. Any chance you still have the lefty M70 300 H&H for sale?
Thank you, Mike

An excellent AH member right here! I had a fantastic transaction with Hornedfrogbbq (I was the seller). His communication was first rate, payment was extremely fast, and I would have absolutely no reservations at all dealing with him again. Thank you, F!
