Big 5 still exists. It's the "dangerous 7" that includes hippo and croc. | |||

Johnny, They comprise the family of pygmy Antelopes. Generally referred within SCI records programs, it is completion of trophies consisting of: Oribi, Steenbok, Duikers, Klippies, Dik-Dik etc. Another catch phrase; Grand Slam, Big 5 etc. Hope this answers your question.

Someone should comission Holland & Holland to make a Royale for the 22 Hornet and then go on a "Tiny 10" safari with his new double. Now that would be a hoot. Landrum | |||

Great idea Landrum, but make it in .223 to avoid import problems. Certain countries are getting funny about lower foot pounds/energy and rimfires, etc. That would be one cool double!

You guys are a hoot. What a great idea. 22 size double. A small drilling would work but a true double, that would be great. Myself I'm really interested in the Tiny 10 to the point of making it a priority for all future hunts. This July in Mozambique along with lion & buffalo I bought licenses for 4 minitures. I've been thinking about South Africa again just for 7 others, nothing else. A few years ago I hunted Zim twice about 7 months apart. The first trip my PH said he had a client coming for 2 animals a elephant and grysbuck. When I returned and asked about that hunt the response was no problem with the elephant but 2 weeks of hunting they had one fleeting view of the miniture. Those animals are a challenge. | |||
