I was looking at the shoulder mount images on teh Savuti Taxidermy web page, and came across this attached photo. What the heck is this? I've not seen one of these in all my surfing of this site. It looks to me as if an oryx and kudu had a bastard child...

hey grunter , that's a black buck
theres quite na few pictures of them on here .
you can hunt them in texas im told .
I rekon rocket , could hook you pretty good with them aswell .
 
Thanks! I wonder why I haven't seen that guy before. The name is familiar to me. Curious if my thought is where its lineage tracks...

Wiki says it is native to the Indian sub-continent. That would explain why I haven't found it here yet...
 
im told they in the east cape aswee

in Australia .
argetina
and of course they are bigger in texas :whistle::whistle::whistle:
 
so you're saying it COULD be a steer, since it has horns? o_O;):LOL:
 
Well, I didn't realize you weren't from the States. I assumed since you threw in the "bigger in Texas" bit that were hailed from there...
Old cliche here is that "only steers and queers come from Texas, and you don't have any horns, so..."

It comes from a movie made in 1987 - Full Metal Jacket

Looks like my movie quote humor won't work so well on the international front:(
 
I see you guys have this one covered....including Texas.

Yup. originally from India, but now huntable in Texas!!!

And Argentina, which I didn't know until out friend @ROCKET posted about them.

I've always wanted to hunt one, but never have. It is still on the list, but many other animals have a higher priority.

Officer and a Gentleman 1982 Lou Gosset Jr. The state was interchangeable another Marine I might add.
 
I guess this is the issue..........Maybe......I dont really know......




Officer and Gentleman 1982 Richard Gere......Louis Gosset Jr.....


Could be......!!!!!
 
Well done, ScottG and ROCKET! I don't miss my quotes very often, but you definitely got me.
 

But I guess I didn't miss after all!

Oh, I love this movie! I had to rewatch this, and laughed so hard. R. Lee Ermy is phenomenal.
 
I truly hate Full Metal Jacket. Perpetuates every one of the worst myths about the US military.
