Bushbuck Pictures

25 year span of photos. Nice trophies. You age well too.(y)

A Bushbuck hunting career in pictures.. Nice collection of trophies for sure.
 
Thanks Wheels, it's been a Great Ride! Ive seen a lot of change over three decades. Ethiopia is on my list to finish out the Bushbuck, and Mtn. Nyala of course.
 
Thanks Brickburn, still holding on to the dream of an 18" Bushbuck, it's better than the best whitetail!

For those who havent watched the video that I posted in the video section, here it is again...

THE BIGGEST BUSHBUCK TO COME OUT OF ZAMBIA

Hi Thor
Just backed up through the pages here and found this one watched the video. The picture after yours was 17" but you didn't ever say what the length was. Do you have a number for this one. Some day I would like to get a great bushbuck.

Bhfs300,

The bushbuck on the video and one the picture you refer to just went 19'' on both sides. I think it made 4 or 5 in the SCI record book.

The bigger one which was picked up was over 21'' on each side.

The Lower Luangwa Valley has some of Africas best chobe bushbuck
 
Mike, how often do y'all see bucks over 16"?

I won't rest til I find one 18"
 
Sounds worse than my 60 inch Kudu goal.

Gotta have those goals Brickburn, that's what keeps pulling us across the pond.

I'm sure if I ever score on the big bushbuck I'll join in search of the 60" kudu!

There'll always be a catalyst drawing me to the Dark Continent.
 
Here is a trail cam photo of one that was hanging around 200 yds from the lodge- I was after him but let my 60" kudu hunting get in the way. Anyone with an estimate on length? 16"s ? He looked old to me

here was one I ended up with- the worst picture of all my animals unfortunately. We got caught between the daylight and dark and the flash didn't work good, it was blurry etc. I tried to photoshop some of it to clean up but it is what it is. This BB had a better cape but not the same twist or length of the one above. This one was 15"

Very nice Bushbuck buck wild, I know what you mean on photos, it's the final object of memory before the mount arrives and at time a great trophy just doesn't get shown well. On late evening success, I like to wait til morning weather permitting as first light can make for great photographs.

hi sorry only just seen this as between power cuts and internet messing around not been on much. a 17inch and 16 inch were shot last year and we have a lot of bushbuck so if you persevered you might get your big one......but @Thor Kirchner keeps taking some monsters, so when you over in june why not come see us or him to see if you can cure your itch ;)

I realize how hard the bug has bit. I’m on the cusp of safari #2 and I’m looking to plan #3 with my 11 year old a year from now while looking at my work schedule for overtime and computing the math of how many shifts are needed….

I'd like to get some too.

My wife (a biologist, like me) had to have a melanoma removed from her arm last fall.

Hallo Marius- do you have possibilities for stags in September during the roar? Where are your hunting areas in Romania?

I'm about ready to pull the trigger on another rifle but would love to see your rifle first, any way you could forward a pic or two?
Thanks,
