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 !

Noah,
I might be interested in the 470 Woodleigh Softs if the price is right for the entire lot. Are you planning on going to the Tulsa Gunshow in November? If so, perhaps we could meet up.
