Ooh..! I’ve never seen one of these before. I mean ever. Even in a report or IG. Wow!

That’s a particularly nice one. There are quite a few in massailand and thankfully come on 10 day general license without needing the upgrade.

Limpopo province, RSA this past July. Taken with my 30-378 wby, I cant wait to get back across the pond and hunt them some more
 
My sons from 2025, I myself have not hunted one yet.

311 yards, .270 win loaded speer 150 gr Hotcor (excellent performance I might add) from his Begara, quartering shot on the shoulder exited out the other side through the liver area I think. I was so proud of him when he made that shot, it's a long way for a young bloke.

My first trip to Africa in 2024! Lots of fun hunting this black wildebeest, and on the last day, last evening my wife was finally able to shoot something (she really just wanted to hunt one animal and have a shoulder mount). Was her first game animal of any kind!

Wildebeests are beautiful animals to be sure and nothing (to me) is more majestic that watching a blue wildebeest running. Over my trips to Africa, I shot the blue, black and golden wildebeests. Next trip I'll be hunting the king's wildebeest.
 
I waited to hunt them on my 5th safari, they are really fun to hunt!

It would definitely be an adventure to hunt all of the wildebeest species, Zambia for Cooksons, Niassa for a Niassa and Tanzania for white bearded.

In the field and waiting to be shipped.

You all have tagged some really nice beasties. Here are my two a Blue and a Black. Tagged the Blue in Limpopo on my 1st Safari. He was my 2nd animal. Shot him at 160-180y with my 375HH and 300g TSX.

The Black WB was in Free State at 314y with my 7mm/08 using a 140g TSX.
