Judging Springbok

I was very lucky to take my first springbuck in March! A beautiful animal, and certainly a nerve-wracking stalk as the herd fed closer and closer to us whilst completely unaware of our presence, and eventually I got a shot off at 60yds!
For reference he measured 12.5”

Some are easier to judge than most. We could tell this one was a keeper from half a mile off. Took some work to get in shooting range.

Big just looks big !

Usually any common with turning back tips should make a good one for the wall & should be 4 plus years. Genetics, management (also ewes) & quality grazing all make for big springbok !

Do you mind me asking what auction you are referencing? I'm not in the market for any of those rifles...just curious.

Good morning from Montana.

I'm looking at a post from 2018 where you were looking for a lefty Winchester in .375 H&H Magnum. I'm selling mine. My email is [redacted] in the event that you're still searching for a unicorn.

Best,

Gents, if you book and pay your deposit before the end of this year , you can have the bigger cull package for the 2026 price! https://www.africahunting.com/threa...griffiths-safaris-starting-at-us-2-560.96285/
I am currently in Northern Cape scouting a hunting area, we will have lots of amazing hunting opportunities for 2027! I will post updated available dates soon!
