HUNTING Bushbuck

[270Buck]

Hi,

I have been looking at the shot placement images which are great.

Does anyone have an image they can share of the bushbuck recommended shot placement?

I am pretty much 100% where I would place my shot.

Either just behind the shoulder?

Or possibly better to anchor the animal, a high shoulder shot?

1/3 of the way up on or just behind the shoulder. Quartering away or towards, aim for the farthest shoulder or the V created between the two.

Pretty much the same for all our PG.

I think Justin has it right. The PH I've used as told me that same shot placement for every animal I've taken so far.

Just behind the shoulder (Lung shot) is the safest as there is a bit more "room for error" but a spine or heart placement is good if all the factors are in your favor and the hunter is confidant. There is also less meat damage behind the shoulder_Not that that takes priority over a clean kill though!

I agree with Justin.

That spells it out quite well.

Think it might blow a lot of records away. Thor had one that looked pretty similar. Absolute brute.

After DNA tests, I think that we may find some Nyala genes in that boy
