Shoot Or Pass?

[Red Leg]

Shoot. Straight in the back of the head.

Uh ………. No !?

 

[KMG Hunting Safaris]

Uh ………. No !?

There's a history here, sir. @Dudders is the only guy here that I know that has a Cape Grysbuck, a collector's species by the way, skullcap mount. Yip, right in the head.

Marius... your the one to blame for my tiny ten passion and it all started with a a dandy duiker. Angles can be deceiving but the duiker in the photo looks to be much larger than the one I took with you nearly ten years ago. It appears to be time to shoot first and measure later.

This is an exceptional specimen. Once in a lifetime type of deal.

 

[KMG Hunting Safaris]

Well, Gentlemen, thank you for playing along. This is indeed an unbelievable specimen. He managed to win this round. He was simply in an area where you would either be 25 yards or 250 yards with a bad wind for an approach.
Our estimation was between 6-6.5" which is a once in a life time animal for this species.

 

[Ragman]

I'd sure shoot. I often picture in my head the one that we saw the day we were Waterbuck hunting. Of the animals that I've seen and not shot, he stands out the most.

Sometimes your waterbuck hunt needs to quickly change into a duiker hunt

Well the waterbuck hunt ended up pretty successful. But in hindsight I think you’re right!

 

[BRICKBURN]

I'd be willing to give it an official measurement.

 

[MarkB]

My PH says shoot=I shoot. That one looks bigger than any I have ever seen yet alone shot.

Hey I've seen a water buffalo stalk put on hold to swing the rifle on a dingo in Australia

I'm not hesitating on that ram. He looks about at least an inch bigger than the one I shot this past summer which I was told was a really good ram.

I'm just hoping I have something fast and flat with me, so I could get on the sticks regardless of distance. Animals like that always seem to appear when you're either super close and need a quick snap shot, or super far away but don't have the long range tools. I'm about 1/2 way to finishing my Tiny 10 so a trip to Natal and the Eastern Cape to specifically target the rest of them is in the future.

 

[PHOENIX PHIL]

The horns look like they’re about 10 inches are more…..if so…..BANG!

Bummer he won that round! Nice seeing the pic and all the opinions about it!

 

[PHOENIX PHIL]

Upon further reading, it seems I way overestimated, but still…..BANG!

 

[Ryan]

That's a ram someone will get by chance. And that will be the beauty of it. I hope they appreciate that.

Or we'll run into him, facing and feeding away at 60 yards, and the hunter will say he already has a Duiker.

That is the hunt.

 

[Anbessa Gedai]

BANG!

 

[KMG Hunting Safaris]

That is the hunt.

I will shoot it myself.

Skiet hom pappie!
