The humbling wildebeest.
You think they'll be easy right up until you get within 500 yards. Then they dance away. Again and again....

They are a really interesting animal and a challenge to stalk. I took my first (and a pretty good one) in the Limpopo in July.
 
This is one animal where a longer horn often doesn’t make a better trophy.

Grand old trophy hunted by a client. I like the cracked bosses and horns opening wide at the top.

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.

Hi EGS

I read your thread with interest. Would you mind sending me that PDF? May I put it on my website?
