Just when we thought dad had the upper hand with his great Nyala, junior makes a comeback and knocks it out of the park with this beautiful Bushbuck ram.

Marius,
Following this thread is just making it harder for our crew to wait for our hunt next year. You and your crew consistantly produce these old, beautiful trophies which keeps us coming back for more.
Good hunting.

I’m really impressed by this thread too. Some great kudu and bushbucks especially.

Appreciate the comments very much gentlemen. Thank you!

 

[KMG Hunting Safaris]

On to the next father and son team! Junior adding two beautiful specimens from the Spiral Horn family. A very nice, heavy Kudu bull where you can clearly see the body starting to regress and the king of them all, a Cape Bushbuck.
Notice the white powdery substance on the neck, behind the horns of this Bushbuck ram, a sure sign to maturity.

We'll round off this group hunt with a little photo dump. We are so incredibly blessed to be situated and able to hunt there areas where we are.

After spotting this Steenbuck ram the previous day, and just not offering a shot, PH and hunter finished the following day's hunting and decided to go and sit on a hill close by to where they had last spotted the ram. He had been with a ewe and another younger ram the previous evening. After watching the ewe and the younger ram feeding for more than an hour, light was starting to fade.
Just as they were ready to call it a day, the ram stood up not far from where they had been watching the entire time.
Hunter got himself steady and closed the deal on this once in a lifetime Steenbuck.

Thank you sir. Steenbok wasn't even on his list. Those plans changed fast.

That steenbok is crazy long. Never seen anything like it.

I'm not one for scores, but that has to be close to record book ?

Damn.

Damn.

Thank you my friend! We are having him scored by a master measurer and will report back. He has to be close to Top 5, I would imagine.

A very Impressive Gemsbuck bull taken by our hunter. Without a doubt my favorite table fare.

Sorry for the late reply, Kevin. We're not really tape measure guys either, but if I had to guess, he's probably 37-38".

Lechwe seems to be the flavor of the year. A Beautiful bull hunted in some amazing country. They truly are spectacular animals.

 

[KMG Hunting Safaris]

How is the character on this bull? He's got the length, ivory and just look at the ridges formed all the way up the front of his horns. Simply Spectacular. The Nyala is no doubt one of the most sought after animals hunters come to us for.
Generally, they are relatively docile, but certainly have a mean streak in them, especially towards hounds. Certainly nothing compared to a Bushbuck ram, but on their day they can spell trouble. Personally, my dogs and I have been charged by a wounded bull, where everyone came out unscathed. We have heard of two blood tracking hounds that lost the battle in our area this year.
What has been your experience? Had any close encounters with a Nyala bull?

Another super Springbuck slam for our hunter. For as long as I can remember, these are the four Springbuck that made up the slam. As a child growing up hunting, going back 35 years, land owners used to tell us to shoot the crossbred individuals between the Common and the White variety. These offspring would often come out as a dirty white. These were not a very enviable trait. Unfortunately today, many simply rebrand it as a new color.

This is the Springbuck Slam.

After Spotting this Kudu bull, we watched him feeding up to cliff which stopped him from proceeding with his line. He turned away feeding away from with the wind in his face.
After sending my tracker around to keep an eye on the bull, we first descended to the bottom, and started our climb in a big loop to try and close the distance between us. My plan was to crest over the top of him.
Once my tracker could see us, he informed me over the radio that the bull was not far below us, and had disappeared into a thicket and that he thought the bull had laid down.
We sat and got comfortable, as I kept an eye on the thicket.
After roughly 10 minutes, I spotted the bull's horns in the thicket, but it was just a flash, and it was truly thick.
We waited another 10 minutes or so. Something did not sit right. He was still eating and I felt that we should have seen something by that time. I quietly rose and walked to the edge of the cliff, and looked below.
To my right, at 70 yards, the bull was standing. He had walked right to the cliff face, staying hidden from my tracker's view, and slipped below us. I signaled to my hunter to slowly make his way to me. The shot was a little bit uncomfortable due to the steep angle but we found a way to make it work. A simply magnificent Cape Kudu bull.
