Turned down an easy 175 yard shot last year on what would have been #15 since 2000. Was working on the bull I downed and decided I had enough work ahead of me and not enough room in the family freezers. Couldn't see paying the processing bill, either, since the lack of freezer space meant most of the meat would have to be given away.
Got my cow tag for 2016 (checked the 'back door' to DPW's web site) and will get an OTC bull tag as well. The season starts a week alter this year and I expect (and hope for) good things with the emigration. Helping Daughter #1 and her hubby both get their first elk and Daughter #2's hubby his second will be my first priority. We will see what happens after that. Its a small island but lots of elk.
As far as Africa and rhino, I have a load for my Marlin .45-70 I call my "Rhino Blaster" load - a 460g Cast Performance WFNGC at 1812fps. Should do the trick but I pretty much hunt backyard rhinos with them. They grow big on the island.
