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.

Morning Rob, Any feeling for how the 300 H&H shoots? How's the barrel condition?

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
