In addition to the mosquitoes and spear grass seeds, I found this fellow:  Merkel .500NE and Woodleigh solids. Good luck in your double rifle endeavours for the year ahead, you mob! | ||

Do you use softs on the mosquitoes?? | |||

Hi Ben. Looking great! No shorts? How do the softpoints go? Cheers, Chris DRSS | |||

Yep, softs for mozzies! Trousers to try to keep the bastards from eating me! And because of snakes and these fiery little caterpillars that sting when you brush past them. When it dries-out later on, it'll be back to the infamous short shorts!  | |||

Oh, the softs work fine for the first shot, front-on or side-on. But for the last year or more I've mostly been using solids. They're just perfect in every situation (on buffalo, I dislike them on pigs as they don't do enough damage quickly enough, silly as that sounds). But solids wreck a buffalo pretty quickly. | |||

Do you eat the meat friend? How is it? What do you do with the horns? Congratulations on the great shooting!!!  D/R Hunter Correct bullet placement, combined with the required depth of bullet penetration, results in an anchored animal... | |||

Yes, we eat lots of buffalo meat. It's nice. We also feed our little wild / stray / homeless dog that we're trying to adopt with it - the poor dog has had a really hard, abused life, so is pretty shy about humans, and just lives in the bush behind our house. Anyway, buffalo meat from older, bigger bulls is tough if you want to barbecue it, but I usually make stews and curries and chilli and roasts in the slow cooker. It doesn't have much fat. I prefer it to cattle. | |||

Unless the horns are really spectacular, I either leave them or give them away. | |||

Nice one Ben! Always fun to see what adventures you've been up to. | |||

Congratulations sir!! I envy you guys in Australia a bit for having such good shooting on big game. It has to be great fun. Reference the horns, are they of any use for making things like a powder horn, knife scales, Schnabel forend tips and the like? DRSS: E. M. Reilley 500 BPE E.

Where are you shooting your mossy's... Last spring I had a New Hampshire Mossy charge my wife and I, I casually stepped in front of her and let the shot develop, my first shot bounced off his proboscis which caused it veered slightly to the right I side stepped to give me a better angle and was able to place a round in the spine at the base of the neck it crumpled at my wife's feet. Perhaps Robinson can add the mosquito to his next addition to the Perfect Shot.. | |||

Plucky little mozzie! Not to be taken lightly.  | |||

Some talented people do indeed make knife handles and stock fore-end tips out of the horn. | |||

I would think lots of things could be made from the horns. Belt buckles, Chess pieces, jewelry and so on. D/R Hunter Correct bullet placement, combined with the required depth of bullet penetration, results in an anchored animal... | |||
