Awesome! What rifle are you using?
I can't remember the exact make/model of the rifle think it was a Bruno in 300 H&H calibre I ended up using the PH's rifle as the shots were longer than what I expected with my 6.5 x 55 Swedish. His rifle had a Zeiss scope with balistic turret and was easily set on the range. This gemsbuck was not that far only 180 meters but I had the 300 H&H in my hands. Bullet was 180gr Gromm

A couple gemsboks from May this year.

The PH felt he made a mistake in that the first gemsbok was not a good enough trophy. I told him it was alright with me and thought he had a character. He insisted that I shoot another one which I happily complied a few days later.

The last picture shows the differences in their horns as well as their skulls.

Yhc, I have also made a mistake like that with a client and a young gemsbuck it was on its own same story I covered the bill and he took another one. Its one of those mistakes you learn to avoid quickly.
 
Yes I was lucky to, I was on ride along when I started & saw this happen to another PH in thick thorn country, so learnt a lesson that day, not saying it won't happen when the pressure is on & last day or some thing !

Hallo Marius- do you have possibilities for stags in September during the roar? Where are your hunting areas in Romania?

I'm about ready to pull the trigger on another rifle but would love to see your rifle first, any way you could forward a pic or two?
Thanks,

Love your rifle! I'm needing a heavier rifle for Africa. Sold my .375 Dakota Safari several trips ago. Would you have any interest in a trade of some sort involving the custom 338/06 I have listed here on the site ( I have some room on my asking price. I also have a large quantity of the reloading components and new Redding dies as well as a box of A-Square Dead Tough ammo.
