Love your posts, Pato!

And finally...a pic of one of these things!!

Read about them, but can't remember seeing a picture.

The thing looks a bit like a Hereford.

How about a natural history lesson; Where did they come from, how many in Oz {or wherever they are also}, interbreed with water buff, were they originally domestic, now gone AWOL, etc???

Thanks again for posting.

Very huge bull. Excellent caliber, between 375 and 416, with very good performance in large game. Again congratulations.

I agree Ovny, excellent calibre - but with .323 bullets it is actually bigger than the .416. Not that it would make a huge difference for hunting

Great bull Pato

Plenty of good steaks there pato. Woodies soft or solids? Do you use the standing leaves on the rear sight or are they up for the photo?

Keep them coming.
