Great looking rifles!
PH looks like Jeff Rann.
I don’t think my 9mm carbine could do that.
Yep, it’s Jeff Rann.

A little more research . . . .
Juan Carlos is a known hunter and patron of
Fabbri arms. WWF making him honorary
president, then revolting after finding that he
has been hunting is bizarre. I suspect they
were willing to overlook his occasional bird
shooting. Speciesism at WWF. Who’d a
thunk it?
Gamecock – WWF had no trouble with Old Juan until he got his leg broken in the process. Most of the outrage now is just to cover their backs, and the bits below.
Looks like they’re carrying .50 caliber single-shot breech-loading ‘express’ rifles. With iron sights instead of scopes, that means they risked their lives (somewhat) in the process. That probably makes this hunting noble and ‘sustainable’. One shot, one kill, plus a nearly dislocated shoulder.
Just a well deserved weekend break from hard green work saving the planet.
