Dinsdale Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grizz1219 Posted August 6, 2015 Author Share Posted August 6, 2015 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....

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. 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... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
