Few more of Dad's.

The solo skull is the Hyena.  The other one has two baboon skulls, and a Feral hog from Texas...

So the obvious question, what did you use to take the Mere-cat with?
The 375 is almost as big as he his, LOL

Fantastic trophies!

Fantastic trophies!

The PH sent that to me later, I think they may have trapped it.  You would be surprised though at how tiny animals can be taken with very large rifles, when you use solids.  Not uncommon to take something tiny like a spring hare, or Caracal with a 416 Rigby using a solid.  Just pokes a small hole in and out.  no expansion.
