A great hunt last week with a couple firsts. James with his first lion and lynx, me with my first time holding a double. What a piece of art that Heym is. I could harrdly believe the beauty of that rifle, surpassed only by the effectiveness on the large cougar James was to shoot. Here are afew pictures for you lovers of doubles.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that wasn't a PH grade……………seriously nice cat and nice rifle! Nice to see someone getting their double out in North America too! Brett DRSS Life Member SCI Life Member NRA Life Member WSF Rhyme of the Sheep Hunter May fordings never be too deep, And alders not too thick; May rock slides never be too steep And ridges not too slick. And may your bullets shoot as swell As Fred Bear's arrow's flew; And may your nose work just as well As Jack O'Connor's too. May winds be never at your tail When stalking down the steep; May bears be never on your trail When packing out your sheep. May the hundred pounds upon you Not make you break or trip; And may the plane in which you flew Await you at the strip. -Seth Peterson | |||

Big is an understatement. I would guess it is an African lion with snow photoshopped in!

Great cat. Beautiful rifle. Cheers, Chris DRSS | |||

Congratulations on hunting that beautiful cougar! I expect that it doesn't get better than that. The rifle was more than enough, and that is the way to do it. We can't be perfect, so our choices are to be under-gunned or over-gunned. Your choice was the correct one.    D/R Hunter Correct bullet placement, combined with the required depth of bullet penetration, results in an anchored animal... | |||

That looks like one nice strong puddytat. I really have to get back out to that country a lot sooner than later. Tatlayoko is a favorite area.

I'm heading back to Tatlayoko to hunt black bear x 2 with Skinner Creek Hunts and Doug McMann in May. I'll be packing my new Heym 577 along with the Heym 450/400 shown in the photos. The hunt for the "Butler Creek Cat" was epic and packing along the double rifle made it even more memorable. Safari James USMC DRSS | |||

Looking forward to shooting that 577 myself. May can't come fast enough. I have already started dreaming of bears so the season must be getting close.

I'd like to see more pictures of that rifle. Rarely have i seen a Heym with much engraving. Great cat too. "When the wind stops....start rowing. When the wind starts, get the sail up quick." | |||
