Day three we move to another location and had an opportunity with a Blesbok. Before the Blesbok came in we had a bunch of Wildebeests and a Giant Warthog. I should probably say at this time that I am shooting a 56” 50@28 Big Jim Thunderchild and the Warthog was a bit on the long shot side with my equipment so he got a pass. I might have made the shot work but with Warthogs they either dye in a recoverable distance or they run until they find a burrow go in it to recover or die. After a bit more time this Blesbok came in. We were in one of Lammies permanent hides and I took the shot.

Well done Kip! Great animal! What happens to the meat & hide? Just wondering what it might taste like? That head would be front row center in my den. Congrats!

Nice blesbuck! I had one with his nose in my shooting window last summer when he decided something was not right and turned around and walked off. Blesbuck is still on my hit list!
Congrats!
