Re: Nilgai with Henry 45-70
Then again, on second thought, maybe you are just using this photo as an example to show what the sight can do? Maybe you didn't actually shoot this

Re: Nilgai with Henry 45-70
Hey Deadwood,
I did shoot it. It was one of the shortest and most interesting hunts I've been on. A one day hunt with Lendell Laxton at http://www.llhunt.com/
When Lendell tells you its a tough animal to bring down, believe him. They also have a sixth sense and can see, smell, hear better than anything I've ever hunted.
The 400 gr. Barnes out of the Henry was good medicine. Deep penetration and the bullet held together like a wad of chewing gum.

Thanks for the photo and for introducing us to that animal, Andy. Was it good to eat, too?
