Thanks for the feedback everyone.
The Gemsbuck hunt was the most challenging and best hunt I had there. Open plains and a herd of 40ish with 3 nice bulls to choose from.The communication between the PH, the tracker, and myself was critical in choosing the right bull. The herd is always on the move never standing still and almost impossible to get close to. With so much movement spotting the right bull in a herd where all the animals have horns was very difficult. We hunted for 2 days before the right opportunity presented itself at which point a 375yrd shot off the sticks was taken. The bull dropped on the spot as the herd ran away. It was an awesome feeling to make that shot on a bull like that. I Didn't realize the mass until I came up close to see the old bull. It just what I was looking for in a Gemsbuck!!!!!
