Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Africa Gemsbok video clip.

Hello Gents, here's a short video clip of my Gemsbok hunt last Oct if you care to google and watch.


"Gemsbok Hunting South Africa October 2015"



John and the guys are first class and will get you set up to hunt Africa.

gunner, I enjoyed the heck out of that, so thanks for the link! They are one badass animal for sure. You had freaking oryx running everywhere! Heckuva shot too through all the trash. Congrats.

Thanks JG, I think about those hunts several times daily, about six oryx busted out of the thickets after the shot, they are scary fast and I understand deadly accurate with those horns.

If your volume is up high enough on your speakers you can hear that 400 gr Woodleigh slap that Oryx then me say....yeah.......I saw her get knocked flat in the thickets.

Those Gemsbok are some awesome looking animals. Nice shooting Gunner.

Welcome to the rest of your life....I probably told you, cause Ive told others, but Africa is like your first real love.....not a day will pass for the rest of your life that you don't think of her....

You ain't lyin' Poobah.

Very cool, Jerry!

Would you like that video posted here?

Ed

Many Thanks Charles, you ever get over there, you'll get bit too, HARD!

, Again, "The Anointed One" has spoken the truth.

Thanks Ed, and please do, your ole 458 Mag, would be right at home there.

Here's the direct link to the video:

Hey Thanks John, that trip was such a blast.

Nice vid and nice gemsbok.

They are such a cool animal.

Thanks Fish, that's a helluva nice Sable in your avatar too.

Great job, Jerry. You'll be booking your next one shortly, I'll bet. The fever of my first African hunt has continued on thru to my 16th safari this July, in Zambia this time.

Thanks Biebs, you're right, it's TERMINAL!

16 trips, damn I have a lot of catching up to do. ;}

I happen to have a custom .375 Whelen Imp in my gun safe as back-up to that .458WM....





Ed

Gunner,

Well done!

I wasn't all that interested in gemsbok on my first safari--until I saw one. Didn't get a shot at a good bull on that trip, which meant of course I had to go back. On my second safari went where there were lots of 'em, and took a good bull, but didn't get one shoulder-mounted until finding an exceptional bull a few years later--and for years it was my only African shoulder mount. Partly that was due to my crowding African shoulder-mounts into the available space--but gemsbok are the most AFRICAN-looking plains game.

Well done Gunner.

Do you have any more? It never gets old watching the vids.

Thanks for the direct links Ed, and yes, a 375 Whelen AI would be a cool old wildcat to take over, when I started talking a 400 Whelen build, a buddy called it a "mildcat," I think he was wrong.


MD, glad you were able to get a big bull Gemsbok, there is spectacular work involved, especially after several trips over to get the one you wanted, I really wanted one, as well as a nice Impala for reasons not quite clear to me, I am most happy with all the animals I was fortunate enough to tag.


Hey Donsm70,

My Outfitter may be able to make us a small synopsis video of all the kill shots, I'll have to ask very nicely and see what happens, glad you're enjoying them.
