[ When I hunted Vermajo back in the late 80's, if you hunted with anything less than a 300 mag of some sort and the bull ran off, that was your $7000 hunt. [/quote]

Where I hunted in South Africa, Namibia and every Exotics ranch in Texas; you wound it you bought it, found or not! In Sa, the smallest we used was a 300WM and 180 Barnes. In Texas, I used small calibers ( 220 Swift & 6x47mm) when recovering from surgery, but made "dang sure" I could kill them! ha Most of the time it was .257 Weatherby, 6.5/284, I even used a 338 RUM/180NAB on an Aoudad hunt! ha.I c these "Money Hunts"...its serious business when you pull the trigger! ha
