Yup, one that had to through ice today. But damn, he was good. Had particularly bad runner that he took down to complete the bag. He has also begun to "set" birds for me. He held 6 hens for me and one of the roosters so I could move in to flush them. He is getting rather good at this.

George, I'm working on a solution to this age thing. I have feelers out for a Thomasville Mule Wagon washout to carry the top half of an electric golf cart (with surrey) that will accommodate 2 to 3 shooters-a South Georgia Howdah. Also consulting a vet to determine if there is reliable genomic testing of mules for the intransigence gene. Gil

Gil's in very good shape, Geo. I've tramped around with him in these cane patches, and I can vouch for it. Just kinda tough on him when we've had lots of rain and the cane is taller than he is. Sometimes the only way I know it isn't a hog is that mop of bright white hair.

I'm not really curious for the taste and beside this, in Germany it is prohibited to eat "Caniden" But I'm happy to get the wonderful fur of those Foxes. My latest Fox gives together with a Raccoon a nice background for the new Mauser Custom Rifle of a friend:



Cheers,

Wolfgang, you and your buddies sure do have some impressive rifles.

Thanks treblig,

indeed we love the classic Mauser system. This one was built by Günter Reetz in Suhl. Interesting is the caliber, .375 Hoelderlin. Yes , you read right, Hoelderlin not Holland & Holland.This cartridge was designed by my friend Claus Otterbein (who owns this rifle) for hunting in Africa with a german cartridge. The 9,3x62 is not allowed in some african states, so he made the .375 Hoelderlin rimless for bolt rifles as well as the Hoelderlin .375 R for Double Rifles. It is based on the 8x68S, because it should fit the normal Mauser System. The rifle above has the Argentino Mauser 1909 system, which is even a bit shorter than the Mauser Normal System. I hope, neyt year the Mauser will meet the right buffalo in Africa!

Cheers,
Wolfgang

Most, if not all of the shooting world loves the Mauser action.

Wolfgang, you know we'll need a report after that Africa hunt complete with pictures!!! smile

Do you have a picture of his .375 Hoelderlin rimless round?

Too much water and the rain keeps falling. I rarely have two poor seasons back to back so I'm hopeful that next year will be better.
