Judging Waterbuck

**Nyati** · 05-11-2011, 12:30 PM

My waterbuck, shot in 2009, near Potchefstroom.

As we were walking near a stream, he appeared at the edge of a clump of trees, semi hidden by them. My PH said shoot, fast, and without the help of shooting sticks, I shot him frontally, in the lower chest, He turned to flee, and I shot him again, in the heart, killing him instantly.

All very fast and exciting, one of my favorite trophies.

This waterbuck measures 29.5 and was shot with Russ Field Safari in May 2009. They are tough animals! It was shot in the East Cape.

This waterbuck was shot in the Guateng Province...the horns are very even...at 28 3/4 inches long.

Yes, I'm a certified hunting fool!
