Looks like a Kudu that got his springer slipped. Killed with a .375 I bet. ;-)

There are a lot of little pricks that sit around a computer in their momma's basement that love to screw with people just because they can. In the last 8 years I've been the victim of identity theft twice and stolen credit card numbers twice. I'm still trying to fix the identity theft issue from 2007 where some prick in Columbus Ohio stole my social security number and had a phone turned on in my name.

What Steelhead posted is a valid problem. There are enough losers out there that will do something like that just because they're bored. There doesn't have to be any real reason behind it, it's just that they're losers and want to screw with someone that day. I've had enough of it happen to me that I don't want to risk it. It's the reason that you'll never see me post a photo of myself, my family, my vehicles license plates, or anything that can identify where I live on the internet.

I think that you meant "klipped".

Elk:

I figured that out hours ago.

Looks like you had a good hunt. What else did you shoot? Be a sport and share, tell us more. I like to see it.

Personally, and honestly, I like hunting the so called "plains game" more than the big 5 which does nothing for me. And you couldn't pay me enough to shoot a "cat" of any category. Ethiopia had black leopards. It took 6 skins to make a coat in Paris which sold for $14,000. I offered one to my wife and she turned it down saying she didn't like black!

I like the stuff that you can eat. Unfortunately the African cooks spice it up and disguise it so much that it is unrecognizable.

Now if you want to go into exotic and mysterious animals consider the Gaur.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaur

I lived in Vietnam for 5 years. The French Colonials had huge rubber plantations. The Gaur were prolific. Huge and very aggressive. Easy to shoot.

The water buffalo were very much domesticated and little kids 10 years old lead them around by the nose. Shooting a water buffalo was like shooting some farmers cow in his barnyard.

Up in the mountains the Montanards lived. They were very different from the Vietnamese, primitive, living communally in long grass huts. The tigers raided them a lot. I was invited many times to hunt but declined. Pigs on the plantations were super abundant among the rubber trees, attracted by and feeding on nuts falling from the trees.

And yes there were black bears. A friend kept a cub for some time.

I have no clue at all as to how. I researched with family and we are Bentheimers. It' a Principality between Germany and the Netherlands traced back to the 11th century.

Here's the map location.
