Let's see,,,,,,,,,,,, This guy has been terrorizing my pens/feeders for the last two seasons. This is a South African Zebu Bull. It is not a Brahma. Two cows make up his harem. He is mean and feral. No brand. As such he is an exotic. Must have escaped from a game ranch. Last pix until recently was the 15th of November, 2023. He showed back up the middle of last month. I decided I had had enough So a plan was formed. Here was a South African critter. I've a S X S double rifle chambered for the 405 Winchester. So I asked myself, WWTD (What would Teddy do?) Quien Sabe, I know what I did. By now you may be wondering what this has to do with Knives....... When I first started collecting knives I had to have a Puma White Hunter. IIRC I got this White Hunter some thirty years ago. It is one of the good ones. I recently have acquired two 'Marabu's" by South African maker Arno Bernard. The one on the left has warthog tusk scales. The one on the right is Kudu bone. I cut twelve +/-1 lb. steaks out of one backstrap for bacon wrapped filets. The other I cut into three portions for roasts or jerky. At 72, I'll probably never make it to Africa, but I luv it when a plan comes together........ Especially with a Texas Twist! ya! GWB

Great work! I can’t imagine that Africa would be any better than this adventure.

That was a great solution to the problem. That was a huge critter. I'm guessing the meat ain't all that palatable from that beast.

Tell us more about that rifle ! I'll second this thought. It's good looking and seemed to make that old bull look kind of peaceful in the third picture...
