They do not do bait and rarely come to a call. So luck is involved and we found him under a tree while glassing for gemsbuck quite a ways off. We went after him to the area where we thought the tree was. Of course there were many trees and we had lost the original apparently but we eventually found tracks. Followed them for quite a while when my PH waived his hand and pointed. Not 35 yards away he lay under another tree in the grass facing away. I could only see his head and aimed low trying for the lower neck/spine which is where the bullet hit.


Conduct is the best proof of character.
