The humbling wildebeest.
You think they'll be easy right up until you get within 500 yards. Then they dance away. Again and again....

They are a really interesting animal and a challenge to stalk. I took my first (and a pretty good one) in the Limpopo in July.
 
This is one animal where a longer horn often doesn’t make a better trophy.

Grand old trophy hunted by a client. I like the cracked bosses and horns opening wide at the top.

Everyone always thinks about the worst thing that can happen, maybe ask yourself what's the best outcome that could happen?
Very inquisitive warthogs
