Baylian, The Zebra pic's I received from my Outfitter were thumbnails and can't be enlarged without being so blurry you can't tell any detail. I have a good one on my web site but it is too large to download on HC. I used a .300RUM with 180 grain Barnes bullets. Believe me, Zebra are not as easy to hunt as one might think. Being I was there last month (their summer) it was 110 degrees that day and the bush was rather thick. Range wasn't the problem as much as picking out a Stallion. It is difficult to: A. find a Stallion, B. get them in position away from Mares & C. get a clear shot. I took mine on the third day of hunting them. They are tough animals to boot. I plan on hunting them again in the future, maybe on my next trip coming up soon. I priced a tanned Zebra skin at the gift shop (airport in Johannesburg) and they wanted more than it costs to shoot your own, send it home and have it tanned here. Doing this one as a rug. One thing about taking a Zebra Stallion: sometimes they are scared up badly. They fight all the time and Lions can rip them up too. I would say glass them carefully but the truth be known, just get lucky. Mine only had 3 small scars on his back. Behind their front and bottom teeth they have two upper and two lower separate teeth called hooks. They can do some serious damage. Good hunting, grayghost
