I think your decision is really one of whether you are hunting or collecting trophies. I mean no disrespect whatsoever, and apologise in advance if my wording is off anywhere in this reply. If you asked me what kind of whitetail you could expect in Saskatchewan, I'd say 160s, but many shoot 180s, some 190s, and as you know, we also have the world record. I have only one 180 class buck in 30 odd years of deer hunting, but I am proud of all the bucks, not because of their size, but because of the hunt. Back to nyala: I was in the East Cape this May for nyala. The PH had shown me photos of the huge bulls taken in recent years on his property, so I decided to give it a go. I hunted my ass off. I have never hunted so hard in my life, as the terrain was very difficult and the bulls did not cooperate. Finally, after eight days, I got my bull, and I am more proud and satisfied with him than any other trophy I possess, whether North American or African. He is not a huge bull, maybe 26", but beautifully shaped and the result of honest hard work by my PH, tracker, and me. When I factor in the fantastic time I had with a great PH and his lovely family, I wouldn't trade my animal for any other. So, don't be put off by an animal of "only" a certain range. Bushbuck and Waterbuck are terrific animals, by the way.
