Ha ha, Do you get these photos from some anti sight that labels them as "sad" and "disgusting"?

We rave about these old pics in a positive manner, while obviously the bitter negative depressed leftie wallowing in self pity sees them as negtive and something to moan and feel bad about ....

The captions are silly.
Throw in the words "dead" and "slain" as if they pass for creative literary embellishment.
I would like to see a PC bleeding heart lefty pose for a photo with his foot on a LIVE rhino!!

Amazing that this dead rhino sat around for 5yrs as a photo prop! They must have been running out of gruesome photos and figuring each rhino looks pretty much like another...

the swedisch hunter allan lunderquist with a now extinct scimitar oryx shoot with a Schultz&Larsen in 7x61


rare trophy pic showing a scimitar oryx



https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scimitar_oryx
"The scimitar oryx was hunted almost to extinction for its horns.[when?] Its population decline began as a result of major climatic changes that caused the Sahara to become dry. The northern population was already almost lost before the 20th century. The decline of the southern population accelerated as Europeans began to settle the area and hunt them for meat, hides and horn trophies. World War II and the Civil War in Chad that started in the 1960s are thought to have caused heavy decreases of the species through an increase in hunting for food.[5][25] Roadkill, nomadic settlements near waterholes (their dry-season feeding places) and firearms for easy hunting have also reduced numbers.[26"

you can believe it or not "The decline of the southern population accelerated as Europeans began to settle the area and hunt them for meat"
this animal was hunted for centurys this way




the firearm in the hand of locals is the main problem, political correct or not allmost ever its the native who exterminate like here rebels in libya "hunting" gazelles

Good post as always. I thought the scimitar oryx still exists in Texas and possibly even Australia? (could be a similar species ?)

What is the animal Hemingway is posing with in the first photo? The stripes at various places don't belong to anything I can think of. I used the twin of Hemingway's Griffin & Howe Springfield to kill two deer with last season. (Ignore the non original recoil pad!)

Considering the fact that Model 95's were made in other calibers: 7.62×54mmR, .303 British, .30-03, .30 Army, .30-06, .35 Winchester, .38-72 Winchester, and .40-72 Winchester, Osa may have used a caliber with milder recoil.

The Johnson's armoury is listed on a thread here on the NE forums. Almost certainly a .405 Winchester but will see if I can look it up.

My guess is that American Springfield in "303" was really in 30/03 which was the forerunner of the 30/06 . I may be wrong but it would be unusual to find a springfield in a "303" (and they also have it listed as a "Mauser", I know they made some Mausers in 303?)
Just my 2 cents
Robert
