Here are pictures of the new Number 2 Rowland Ward Steenbok posted by AH member Blueduiker in the photo gallery. From Blueduiker... New #2 Rowland Ward Steenbok I just mounted... measures 7 9/16 inches on the longest horn... only short 1/16 inch of running first with the current #1 Steenbok (which is coincidentally also pick up). It was a pick-up at Moordernaars Karoo in the Western Cape, South Africa. Jane Halse at Rowland Ward got all the measurements, but it will only make in the next publication. Also attached a few before pics. Share with all of us your Steenbok pictures in this thread!
Thanks Andries! They mention the score for SCI... Here is the Rowland Ward score for this Steenbok Rowland Ward #1 Steenbok measures 7 5/8 inches - Michael Hayward (picked up) Rowland Ward Steenbok Minimum is 4 1/2 inches
Don't go waiting for one of these to come running out. I'll be taking that 5 inch one when he steps out.
Where do you get these Steenbok? I hunted close to 40 when I was younger and I am yet to see one that makes the book, left alone a 5incher. Then this photo’s. LOL. The best spots today are around Colesberg and south west of it. Seen some nice 5-6 incher coming from this area the last 5 years. Best tip for big steenbuck is to hunt them on livestock farms where they control predators.
Some pictures of Steenbok (also known as Steinbuck or Steinbok), enjoy! Please share your Steenbok pictures in this thread...
