Harvested a beautiful rowland bushbuck. Harvested late afternoon with the sun setting very quickly. If you look at the picture closely you will see I was not alone.

Yikes, did you know what was behind you? Those eyes look big. :ROFLMAO:
 
I was just searching bushbuck on the computer, and this ad in MA craigs list came across. He actually says this was taken by a customer of his while in Africa.. I didn't know if I should post this new world class bushbuck photo here or on the Joke thread..

From Ad:
Unique - Rare - Being sold way under the value . . . **Price is FIRM**
Amazing product of the African bush - similar antelopes are common in South Africa, but this species (Tragelaphus sylvaticus) is far less common. Mounts of this animal are not often found in North America.
Perfect addition to any hunter's den or man cave - anyone can have a deer buck or even a moose head, but how many of your friends have a Full BUSHBUCK in the cave?

DESCRIPTION:
• Identified by photo comparisons . . . Body spots, facial and chest pattern, etc. It was collected by a customer of mine while on game hunt in Africa more than a decade ago - and mounted there before being imported to the USA.
• Species: Tragelaphus sylvaticus has been recently separated from the western antelope bushbucks - see scientific literature for the disputed placement within taxonomic evolution family trees. Somewhat similar species: Eland / Kewel / Imbabala

• MEASURES:
About 80 cm (31") at the shoulder.
About 60" Tall overall including the horns.
About 41" long overall Nose to Tail (note the base is a couple of inches longer.)
Ears: 13" from tip to tip
Weight: 20 - 25 pounds

@Trophyhunter01 , great ram! Where did you get him and who were you hunting with?
Hunted with Lalamanzi, Limpopo on the river. Abri the owner has some alfalfa fields those sneaky jokers like to frequent in the dark hours. The fields are fenced in an attempt to keep the animals out and from eating it down but the warthogs, bushbuck, steenbok still work under the edge. They area sponsor on this site.

Trying to be a bridge between Eastern and Western schools of conservation.
From India, based in Hungary.
Nugget here. A guide gave me the nickname as I looked similar to Nugent at the time. Hunting for over 50 years yet I am new to hunting in another country and its inherent game species. I plan to do archery. I have not yet ruled out the long iron as a tag-along for a stalk. I am still deciding on a short list of game. Not a marksman but better than average with powder and string.
