This report presents the observations, data, analyses, and conclusions obtained from a self-funded zebra management hunt conducted in South Africa in July of 2023. The field and skinning-shed data obtained during the hunt confirmed the wound-cavity-based terminal performance concepts and metrics quantified by personal synthetic gel testing and a personal analytical model, called the Guppy, could empirically predict a bullet’s field wounding, penetration, and meat damage.
