Thompson took this huge bull hippo with a single shot between the eyes at 25 meters using Corbon’s 454 caliber 320 grain Penetrators. This hippo was in the water and recovery of the trophy was very hazardous, as the river was full of big crocs. Tusk size submitted to SCI with it being the potential new #3 hippo taken with a handgun.
