 I have no idea of how many handgun hunters have taken tahr in New Zealand but I do know that is no longer possible. With that in mind it was an easy choice of what game to take while hunting in Texas. Used my ever faithful FA`s 454. That handgun has taken its share.. PS- this was on one of SCI sponsored handgun hunts at the old YO.. I don`t know how good those horn`s are size wise but he lives on in my reload room......

It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger squeeze.

That is pretty cool! James what do you do with the meat off of an animal like that, is it fit to eat.
