Way south--as in Argentina. Took this toad at a ranch just north of Santa Rosa. Hunted with Alejandro Trigo of TGB Outfitters earlier this month (http://www.tgboutfitters.com/index.php?lang=en)
This was a trip I'd bid on at the Dallas Safari Club annual auction over a year ago.
I had water buffalo (they are HUGE and tough to hunt), red stag, blackbuck and a hog on license.
Took him at about 60 yards. It was dark and raining. Hammered it with a 300 Win. Mag./200gr. A-frame. You can see the shot placement in the photo--speaks for itself. Broke the near-side shoulder, penetrated the lungs and exited the offside
shoulder. I knew he was hit hard from the bullet slab and the shrieking squeal. Still, he managed to run almost 200 feet. Of course--when you are walking through tall grass/brush at night in the rain--you don't know that. Pucker factor was up pretty high for a few minutes but he was piled up and done when I walked up on him.
Didn't weigh him--but Alejandro put him at about 300 + lbs. I was surprised, but then I realized how thick and long these are in the body. The head (esp. the snout) gives a clue of just how big they are.
