Tuesday, 7 February 2012. I want a double rifle: part 1. Best start with the honest truth: I want a double rifle. In 1884, Paul Vielle invented the first smokeless gunpowder suitable for rifles. Unlike blackpowder that it replaced, the resultant propellant known today as pyrocellulose. Produced negligible smoke when fired and was three times more powerful than black powder, generating much higher muzzle velocity in the same sized case. In the early 20. By the mid 20. Century, following the end of World W...

http://taxidermy-101.blogspot.com/2012/12/daggaboys-new-chapter-and-now-taxidermy.html
Friday, 7 December 2012. DaggaBoy's new chapter - And now, taxidermy! As a young boy I lived on a small Mediterranean island and guns and hunting were a part of our day-to-day life.

Hunting Africa's Big Game: Processing a bull giraffe
http://huntingafricasbiggame.blogspot.com/2012/10/processing-bull-giraffe.html
Thursday, 4 October 2012. Processing a bull giraffe. Thought I'd post a few images of the field processing of the giraffe bull. I shot him at 7:52am and we were working hard till close to 3:00pm to get him skinned and broken down. He fell in a pretty handy position with awkward but relatively good access for the vehicles but the skinning was a bit awkward at times. Enjoy this brief photo essay. The missus snapped this picture while I was watching the early stages of the skinning operation. These guys...

Monday, 21 January 2013. A shot of a tsessebe. Last Friday afternoon I was archiving (read: deleting) files that have accumulated on my office computer and I came across a very special photo I wanted to share.

While our PH Stephan rode up front with Fanwell - tracker and skinner. Tsessebe - Damaliscus lunatus. After a ...

Hunting Africa's Big Game: Hyenas in Addis Ababa
http://huntingafricasbiggame.blogspot.com/2013/01/hyenas-in-addis-ababa.html
Monday, 7 January 2013. Hyenas in Addis Ababa. I'm a huge fan of the hyena and think they are a wonderful animal. One of Africa's most successful predators, perfectly adapted to long pursuit hunting and total utilisation of their prey. They kill the old and sick grazers, helping to maintain the health of herding animals and clean up dead carcasses across Africa greatly benefiting the ecosystem. You can read Part I of my hyena hunting exploits by clicking the link below. The latest issue of African Indaba.
