Finally got them where I want them..... these aren't all of them but it's got the ones from last years trip... 

 

First should be the huge blue wildebeest I took...

Second one from left to right is Gemsbok (2012), Springbuck (2012), wife's red hartabeest, wife's impala and my black wildebeest

No Cecil ?

[catskillkid]

Very nice trophies. I think you need a bigger house

[Grizz1219]

There are more.... But thanks to all.... No lions.... I don't have the desire or the bank account to hunt them...  not against it though... Have 2 friends that killed them...

They all look awesome...

Good stuff.....

That Blue Wildebeest is a monster.

Just for folks who may not know much about them, a trophy starts getting interest when the outside bow of the horns is starting to just go over the tip of the ears......This one is well past.

I have euro of a old bull I took with heavy and fairly wide horns, some mistake as a young Buffalo; the one Grizz has is a cranker.

you just need a lion and you're good

[Grizz1219]

Never been one to hunt the big cats..... I would like to go back though... I've tried twice for a Bushbuck and warthog... Just can't find a mature one of either... Would also like to take an Nyala, waterbuck and a Lechwe.... But we shall see how funds are... LOL

 

Thanks for all the kind words....

thanks.... We were actually looking for a 24-25" impala, stalking in some thick stuff... The impala was hanging in the same area as these 2 Wildebeest bulls were... stalked up on the 2 bulls, got within 40 yards... looking for the impala, all of a sudden this bull stands up and I remember thinking "there weren't 3?"... when my PH turns and looks at me and mouths "Shoot that one now"... I bring up the T/C and BOOM!!! The 338 barked and this bulls butt hit the back of his head as he nosed dived into the ground.... As we move to the side to get a better angle my PH yells "Load another round, they don't go down like that!"... I pop another round in the gun and as we get closer... we see the bull's head is still under him... I remember thinking "they" might not go down like that but HE did... LOL... He was done.. PH was jumping up and down... hooting and hollering... I had no idea just how big he was.... He tells me stay here.. I'm going to the truck to get a tape measure... He came back and measured him at 31.5" wide... Started jumping up and down again... I had to hold the tape while he took pics to show other PH's that it was a true 31.5" wide...
