Very big Black impala on one of our hunting areas what do you guys think he will measure?

Cool animal. I never killed any of the unusual color phase plains game animals but black impala and golden wildebeest are beautiful creatures for sure.

I am not good at guessing horn length but he looks like a giant impala.
 
Black Impala are cool, look very much like Dark Fallow Deer.

Around 24-25in can’t see how much he curves back.
 
The PH on my first safari in Zimbabwe put me onto one a little bigger....and I whiffed the shot!
That one is a don't hesitate, just shoot size.
 
He is nice and wide
But looks pretty flat(doesnt curve back much)
Will make a nice trophy
 
He is old and wide and a nice throphy but he is 2 inches short of RW....
 
Would really like to see him from the side so we could see how far he goes back and then how his tips come back forward.

What a great way to kick off our 2025 hunting season in South Africa.

This beautiful Impala ram was taken at just over 300 yards, took a few steps and toppled over.

We are looking forward to the next week and a half of hunting with our first client of the year.

Do you have any more copies of African Dangerous Game Cartridges, Author: Pierre van der Walt ? I'm looking for one. Thanks for any information, John [redacted]
