Marius, You are such a great photographer!
 
Marius, You are such a great photographer!
Appreciate it Doug. Thank you. Good photos are very important to me. Have to balance out the animal and hunter in a respectful manner.
 
I’d have to defer to my PH in this case. He looks good to me but that’s probably not the best angle to tell. I’d be ready to shoot if given the chance and the go ahead.
 
Take him!
Is it true the cape bushbucks get
Darker as they mature and then turn lighter brown again in old age?
 
Those shoulders look big. I can't tell if he is in his prime or old. His hips don't look old. I would be cautious, but I follow instruction well :)
 
Well if what I am seeing is a completely bald neck and head, he's going down because he's got to be ancient if so and his length looks pretty good as well.
 
I'm not shooting. But only because I already shot a beauty of a bushbuck with you.

This is certainly what my experience has been. Not impossible to get them really dark and old, but most of the time, those really dark rams seem to be in their prime.
The lighter brown is pretty much the same as for us turning grey.

There are a few other clues that we look for, but those are state secrets... :)

I'm very happy to see that you ARE hearing some of the things I say....:LOL::LOL::LOL:
 
The arrow would be sliding in at the back rib before you blinked Marius.
I would be shooting arrows at it from across the kloof.

Sir, if anyone turns this down, they will lose their visa to enter the Eastern Cape ever again:LOL:

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

This compares favorably to 7 Rem Mag. with less powder & recoil.

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.

Have twice tried to post something that your site canned as "SPAM" or some problem.. "Contact the Administrator"... Not sure why even the "Contact" button would not send my comment so you only received my query but not the content in question. I'll see if I can get it to you this way... NOPE I use a VPN and perhaps that is causing me grief...
