2013 PGCA Silent Auction

[BRDHNTR]

Dean, I'll take some pictures of it in a few minutes and post with some dimensions. Mr. Purtill has seen this mount in our family room while he was drooling uncontrollably over the BHE I had for sale awhile back. George can attest as well. If it is accepted as a silent auction item, I can bring it down to the event on the Friday. Stay tuned for pics. This was one of 2 Impalas that I shot. This one was taken late in the day after Jean and I had walked our butts off in the bush and I had asked out PH to drop us off at one of the waterholes where he had a blind set up. We sat there for over an hour taking movies of all manner plains game that around 5 pm decided to come to water for a drink. This one was one of about 20 or so Impalas that just showed up out of no where to drink. We were hunting bigger game during the day and all I had was my model 70 375 H&H mag. When I decided to take this one animal and shot it (at about 20 yds) - that slug knocked that impala back about 20 feet. Never seen anything like it. Couldn't resist the shot though. I'll post pics shortly. My apologies for droning on about this.

Dean, the impala roughly measures approx. 37" from the tip of the horns to the base of the neck.
