Thank you for sharing Rocket. Here's a little of how we do it in Texas...
It's on the dream list!

I hear you even have Bongo in Texas this days ... for me its a bit weird to shoot a animal and put it on the wall if its taken under fence in a totally wrong part of the world and when its not in its natural habitat. I know a client that took a Tiger in RSA two years ago.. funny world we living in.
Thanks for the kind comments Rocket, I really don't know the measurements on these critters, as I don't pay as much attention to that as I used to. I can tell you that these are the first of my kills of these species and I will be after better ones in the future as I have seen some much larger!
The revolver is a S&W 460 Magnum XVR with 12" fluted barrel out of their Performance Shop. I'm shooting Buffalo Bore's 360 grain hard cast and it's a beast of a load, deadly out to 200 yards if you can shoot it. I spined the boar with it & finished him with the 10mm Glock pushing a 220 grain Buffalo Bore hard cast out of the 6" Lone Wolf barrel.
That is my first Aoudad taken on a friends place near Junction, Texas. He's only about a 28 incher but has 13" bases. My outfitter pal out there has access to some tremendous rugged west Texas Aoudad and takes 33-36 inch rams regularly. I'll go with him next.
I live in Mississippi, work in Africa and hunt everywhere. I'd love to partake in a multi species hunt in your neck of the woods Rocket, and you are certainly welcome to join us in the states anytime!
Rocket I went to Cordona at Rincon de Luna and took a nice Black Buck 3 years ago, it was a excellent hunt and very hilly terrain so even if it was 5000 ha fenced estate it was a bit challenging. I stalk after a nice buck 68 cm for 6 hours and finally took him with the guide's 270 win on 380 meters. So, do not misunderstand my point here, I think its great that its possible to hunt this fine antelope in Argentina because its natural habitat like India is closed for all hunting, and Pakistan its a bit dangerous this days.
This is the Blackbock from Cordoba. Cheers Gordon

Rocket, I'm really familiar with your company from my SCI days. A friend of mine hunted there way back just before they shut puma hunting down. He said it was a awesome hunt. I would like to go down some day hunt for blackbuck at least!!
Some very nice trophies shown on this thread! Rocket if you make it to hunt the USA then come by. We have more pronghorn antelope than people in Wyoming. I'm sure we could find one for you. Bruce
Rocket,
You have some great trophies. Thanks for sharing the photos and starting the thread. Argentina is on my list one day. Was your hunt with Steve Scott filmed for television? If so I hope to see it.
Jeff / Gordon,
You too have great trophies. Thanks for the photos.
