Burchell's Zebra

Date: July, 2009

Place: Near Cathcart, South Africa

Weapon: Sako 30-06 with silencer; 180 gr Nosler partition

Story: I took this beautiful stallion on the 2nd day of my safari. We chased and tracked and trailed the herd for half a day before I finally got my chance. We got lucky to get him because he was intermingled with the herd the whole time I was ready to take the shot, and then a brief opening suddenly appeared in the middle of the mass of black & white stripes and he was standing broadside.

Two shots later and he was mine!
