GV,

Thanks for posting. Your comments explain the hunt a lot. I'm guessing a .450 NEdouble rifle for that hunt would have been difficult with quite long range shots needed.

A great pity the hide didn't make it to you. Very disappointing when the headskins, hides etc get lost, stolen, swapped, damaged. I haven't had one stolen or lost completely, but have had a zebra black skin swapped for a brownish skin. An eland headskin missing most of its chest hair. Taxidermy and hunting skins, skulls export and shipping, is an area of high incompetence, inefficiency and fraud. One bill 10x its proper pricing, I told them to get ffffed ... And it was reduced tremendously. Another time given a bill for an Austrian, always higher. My papers lost one time. A friendly outfitter helped out. Nowadays the greenie terrorist factor is huge.

As commented the region of the wisest territory is a bit less accessible now. Eastern border of Poland, Western Belarus, Western Ukraine. The Ukrainian-Russian border seems mostly in the opposite Eastern andcSouthern Ukrainian regions, but who wants to be un-necessarily in any of these countries.

Wisent is a beast one rarely reads or sees hunted. Congratulations on it. You must have an interesting trophy room. Thanks for posting.
