Let's see some Zebra pics

I too wasn't sure about hunting a zebra. But after chasing one for 2 days I respected how elusive a quarry he was. Here's my stallion from the Limpopo region of SA in 2022.

Very elusive and one of the more difficult PG animals I hunted.

It appears you shot all the zebras in Africa so I may have to change my plans to hyena this summer.

Zebra are photogenic creatures:

Here is a different pose that I have started using on Zebra. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Don't worry, I have left a couple of them for my next trips and for my fellows as well
The last one I saw through my scope

But if you have the opportunity, do not hesitate to try Hyena hunting. These critters are just incredible.

A Zebra wasn't on my "list" on my first trip to Africa. On the last day of that hunt I accompanied one of the other guys in our group who unsuccessfully tried to get one, and we saw how elusive they were.

Then in the years between my 1st and 2nd African hunts, I thought about how iconic they were to Africa, so one was high on my wish list for my 2nd hunt.

I brought the backskin back and incorporated it in the panels cherry wood pedestal that I made for that mount.

Many hunters refuse to hunt zebras during their first hunting trip because they compare them to horses. But once they have seen how wary this animal can be in the wild, many hunters change their mind.
I love hunting zebras and it is one of my favourite plains game with wildebeests and elands. I was extremely lucky to have hunted many of Burchell and Hartmann zebras. Once, I tried the Chapman in the Caprivi, but we failed to find the right stallion.
I would say I find the skin of the Hartmann more beautiful if I have to choose between both. But what I like with the Burchell is the huge difference of patterns.
Here are some of my zebras.

You have done well with the zebra. I agree they are very fun to hunt and will try and take one on every safari going forward!

Nice pics!

Challenging to hunt, alert and each one unique in their own right. They are mighty tasty as well…

My 2024 Zebra from Limpopo SA!

A couple of Chapman’s from the Caprivi and the b&w photo is a Hartmann’s. I have yet to meet an African game animal whose company I did not enjoy at the dinner table, but zebra is the best in my opinion. Great on the plate and a challenge to hunt…or at least mine have been!

Interesting thread, if for nothing else it is a reminder of how hunting the same critter in different areas and conditions can vary so much. I and my hunting partner each took a zebra in the Chobe river plains in Caprivi (wild, no fences) in October of last year, it was a very easy "hunt". They were not wary, and incredibly easy to get within scoped rifle range. The hardest part of the "hunt" was choosing which stallion to shoot. To make it more challenging, I took mine with my PHs 500 NE double with iron sights. It seems like in more heavily hunted areas they are a much more difficult proposition. This one was dirty from rolling on burnt ground.

KMG Hunting Safaris, Interesting pose on the zebra. I like it!

They look great in black and white also!

 

[Letzhunt]

KMG Safaris. I too like that pose. The back skin is so interesting and having the head in makes it interesting

A Selous zebra my son Ian took in Coutada 11. I had never seen one with so much black before - they are stunning!
