In the immortal words of Rodney King "can't we all just get along". When I decided to share the photos of my trip with my Internet Friends I never thought I would be called a pig, a game hog, a psychopath, have my man hood questioned and start a 6 page poop storm. The main point of my post was to show you don't need a long range flat shooting bolt action rifle to shoot plains game. Shooting double guns is one of the things this site is about and shooting a double rifle on my trip made it more challenging and rewarding. I don't think the negative comments are worthy of a response other than saying Walt I accept your apology.
Thanks to all who supported me.
Mark

Well said, and perhaps enough said.

Well said, and perhaps enough said. Ed, you seem to be a litttle deeper than I suspected. We'll just have to agree to disagree on some facets of the hunt...Geo

Mark, thank you for sharing your hunting photos, they made me really envious!
You have made don José de Ortega y Gasset proud!
