I have been over there on 23+ trips and have gotten lots of plains game and many buffalo. Have done enough elephant hunting to know that it isn’t for me. There is something truly sad about walking up on a dead elephant.
Wildebeest are very interesting to hunt. I stalk them on foot. They will circle around you to catch your smell. They snort and paw the ground. They are pretty stout and require fine marksmanship. They are not easy to get up on and are a good test of your stalking skills. Hit poorly they will give you a long chase.
Zebra are even tougher to stalk. And they are even tougher to take cleanly. You must be a pretty skilled rifleman to hit them correctly. You won’t believe how they can vanish.
Both are very challenging and always interesting.
In the open red sand country in Namibia I enjoy chasing oryx.
All are good tests of skill.
Still looking for the biggest warthog of all time. Futile but interesting.
