DG Stopping Rifle - Double vs Bolt

[grayghost]

When's your next hunt? I will return to SA next year, but plan on a DG hunt the following year. The last Lion I mounted (when I was in the Taxidermy biz) was the largest our shop ever produced. It measured 10.5 feet from nose to tip of tail. We mounted it leaping onto a Zebra. Believe it or not, the Zebra was the most trouble to mount. Short hair and several thousand stitches to cover up. The only form that fit its measurements was a standing, at ease Zebra. We had to cut it all apart, reassemble and do a lot of extra work. Our client was very happy however. Aside from our fee, he gave me a new Ithaca Supreme 10 ga semi-auto. Said it was too heavy for him to swing on ducks. I agreed and wound up selling it. Good hunting, grayghost
