Carol O'Day w/ her 2010 nilgai bull
Some of you may know her as the “American Huntress,” from a television show that she appeared on at Sportsman Channel for two years. Others might know her as the president of MG Arms Inc., a small independent Texas-based business, best known for manufacturing custom “MGA Ultra-Light” rifles, the “DragonFly” revolver and the “K-Yote Varmint System”. MG Arms also performs general gunsmithing and customizing of personal firearms.
We had the pleasure of meeting Carol at the Texas Trophy Hunters Extravaganza in Houston, Tx. She was lending a hand at the Houston Safari Club booth helping promote a great organization. As promised (ok, we begged a little), Carol was nice enough to pass along a few of her exotic trophy pics to share with you guys! This nilgai (pictured) was harvested earlier this year in South Texas. For all of her trophy pics, check out our August Trophy Room.
