Fair comment, but generally a yard either way puts them into the thick stuff.Back out and hopefully work around to a better angle for a shot. If you’re close that is
I’d default to the PH, but with a 300 win and right bullets I’d be confident in that shot on a bushbuck. Might not be any other opportunity.This is the only angle he gives you, as he's peacefully feeding away from you. What's your move?

300Win should wreck him. Somehow I feel I should have added "crying myself to sleep" as an option to the question.I’d default to the PH, but with a 300 win and right bullets I’d be confident in that shot on a bushbuck. Might not be any other opportunity.
Look at the bull on the far right. Look how deep. Going to be a monster. Excellent genes.Horns look crooked like my shooting. Need him on my wall!
Indeed. Personally, I love hunting them. (When preparation is correct, otherwise nights can get long.)Oh yea! Would love to hunt one, very cool animal.
They are very intriguing. I guess it depends on the area, but Zim has loads of them. Surprised you couldn't get one there.I tried to get a hyena in Zim last year and wasn’t able to connect. Had a great hunt though. Hyenas are high on my list of animals I’d like to get a crack at. Very cool animal for sure.
We were in an area where we couldn’t hunt them at night, which makes it more difficult. We heard them at the bait before it got light enough to shoot. A couple of times just need a few more minutes and we’d have been in business. The next time I try for one will be in an area where we can hunt them at night.They are very intriguing.

Makes sense. When they are active around the bait like that, it makes for an exciting hunt.We were in an area where we couldn’t hunt them at night, which makes it more difficult.
