Jim that's awesome! It amazes me how big those zebras really are. I wonder if my wife would be interested in one of those for a present.

Very nice. It came out much bigger than I'd have imagined.
How did that .348 with the Barnes work on that striped pony?

'gonna ask a weird question. Do you (or anyone else) eat zebra? My wife asked when I showed her the pictures above and I said I wasn't sure. I know some folks eat horse and of course if you're hungry enough then anything is on the menu, but is there a... wait a sec. I just looked it up and there seems to be people who eat zebra, but have you?

I always figured a .348 would give even a Rhino a fairly good headache, but it sure looks like it tips over Zebras pretty well. Congrats Jim, that smile on your wifes face tells the story.
