GV ~ great Kudu......if fact there all great....rj

The underrated Hartebeeste.

Thanks for the compliments. Nope, the Gemsbok was a bull. I was lucky enough to take him in May of 2004. We were hunting in the Northwest province of South Africa near the Botswana border. He went 42" x 41 7/8" and the bases were 8 7/8 x 8 6/8. He is without question the best African trophy I have taken.

That is a very nice red hartebeast. Congrats! Here is a pic of my sons, taken in 2008, in RSA.

I KNOW more people have been to Africa than have posted pictures... MORE PICTURES PLEASE!

Here you go, my best trophy (Zimbabwe Sept, 2001 John Sharp Safaris)

Cape Buffalo in Tanzania just the way I like them - hors de combat

Ha-uge buffalo Jeff. Lovely rifle too!

Great Buff, Great rifle , Great Pic. hatari. Thanks for posting. I am a wanna be African Hunter.
Great thread.

Jorge, that is one hell of a Kudu! Deep curls, what did that bad boy measure?

Yep, it's impressive and very straight / parallel horns.

Hatari, did you really shot such a buffalo with that shotgun ?

58 3/4, 58 1/2.

Wow! I've got to come by and see that monster sometime.

GV,

Shotgunning is an art, especially when they fly to the water holes at dusk in a Vee formation. If you can pick off the last one in line, the others don't spook.

You are welcome in our humble cottage anytime Jeff! jorge

Ok, here's some of mine.

These were from the Limpopo Province of South Africa in 2000.

All were shot with a 7mm Rem mag shooting 140 gr Ballistic Tip handloads. All but the Waterbuck were one shot kills.

I returned to Africa in 2005 to hunt in the Matetsi region of Zimbabwe for these guys that I shot with my .375 Ultra mag shooting 300 gr Barnes TSX bullets.



I then went to Kwa-Zulu Natal in South Africa for these guys shot with my .375 RUM or my 7mm Rem mag shooting 160 gr Accubonds.

I then finished my 2005 South African hunt with these guys from the Free State.

My last trip to Africa was to the Eastern and Southern Cape regions where I shot these animals with my .375 Ultra mag and 270 gr TSX handloads.
These are the ones from the Eastern Cape.

And finally, my animals from the Southern Cape region of South Africa in 2007. They were all shot with my .375 Ultra mag and 270 gr TSX bullets.




I was afraid the .375 RUM would be too much gun for this Cape Grysbok, so I borrowed a .308 Win and a FMJ bulllet for him.
