[pilar]

Buddy went turkey hunting and this walked up , any I.D on this African antelope?
Young water buck ?

Let’s see a picture please

Lechwe... and a decent one I think.

 

[thi9elsp]

Lechwe maybe

 

[Scott4030]

Lechwe for sure.

 

[Hunt anything]

Definitely a lechwe, a lot of ranches in Texas have them.

 

[wesheltonj]

RED Lechwe.

 

[NIGHTHAWK]

Pretty tame Lechwe to pose for a picture like that…

This could be an interesting story! What was he hunting turkeys with that could take down a lechwe? In Texas can you hunt spring turkey with a rifle?Are any of the neighboring ranches missing one of their relatively high dollar lechwe bulls?

A couple of the ranches I’ve hunted turkey and Javalina on south of Kingsville offered exotic hunting and had lechwe. One had a lot of lechwe and advertised them as Kafue, some farther south advertised their lechwe as red lechwe.

Good thing it wasn’t a Tasmanian Tiger!

Shoot first, ask questions later?

 

[NIGHTHAWK]

“Hey, it only took 18 Turkey loads, and 13 gallons of fuel on my John Deere Side x Side, but we finally got him!!”

 

[NIGHTHAWK]

“And thank god I’m a good shot and didn’t knock off one of those weird looking antlers”!!

“Plus I got a tag for a hermaphrodite blackbuck-whitetail cross I’ve been sitting on for years!”

“What we call a unicorn round these parts” “I called it supper”…

One of the great things about Texas is if it’s not a whitetail, mule deer, pronghorn or desert bighorn you don’t need anything but a general hunting license as far as big game goes.

 

[Green Chile]

Only in TX would you go out for a turkey and come back with a red lechwe...then the rancher told him the trophy fee and he got sick afterwards.

They sure do have a strange gobble though!

I think he had finished turkey hunting and was going back to camp , when he saw it
And had a deer rifle in the truck, a lucky stumble across as exotic animals aren’t usually found around the area

Someone needs to ride their fence. Murdering one on a game ranch would run $8-10K.

I realized I got a little carried away with my comments. It just seems so bizarre and random to shoot and kill an animal that you are not familiar with. I could appreciate a coyote or feral hog…
