    CONGRATULATIONS BRETT! That makes my day! A big Hippo bull will weigh in at around 6000 pounds; about identical to a big, bull White Rhino. They are incredibly tough animals. 😯

    Tell us about what the outcomes were on other shots and; just got to ask; did you take any test shots after it was down? 😀
