Gemsbok with a difference !!!
FRINGE EARED ORYX - hunted in Tanzania. I was on the final stalk onto some nice buffalo, when these ORYX passed a couple hundred meters away. I immediately abandoned the buff stalk and went after the Oryx... shot this bull at 140m with 375 300gr Swift A frame.
NOTE : The MUCH shorter and thicker based horns... also the FRINGES on both ears
Gemsbok ( 0ryx ) with a difference… FRINGE-EARED ORYX.. note the tassels of hair on tips of ears. The horns are also typically shorter and thicker in this East African sub species.
Hunted in Tanzania.
What a bunch of sharp horns just itching for a fight. Awesome species. I watched a lone female over a waterhole chasing everything off including water bucks, sable, wildebeest, eland and zebra just by pointing her horns in their direction. Then she didn't even drink!
