Nice set of animals, congratulations. That Black Impala, very cool. That Kudu had very nice sweeps to the outside, great look

Thank you very much. I appreciate your comment.

After spotting this bull around mid morning with some cows, we waited for him to descend lower on the opposite hills face in order to close the distance. We watched him for quite a while, only for him to follow the cows into a large thicket.
Once we were comfortable that they were settled for their morning bed, we pulled out and decided on an early lunch. We decided to get back out there a little earlier, and sit and wait him out.
We got back at roughly 14:00, and settled in on the road straight across the thicket where they entered. It wasn't long before the first Kudu cow showed herself, starting to feed for the afternoon session. Roughly 30 minutes later, the bull showed flashes of himself feeding. With the direction of the matriarch feeding, there were plenty of open gaps in the bush where we would get a chance.

We found a gap in the road allowing our hunter to lie down prone for a comfortable shot, and he made no mistakes. Another 50"+ Cape Kudu bull with some substantial ivory.

Once I laid eyes on this Blue Wildebeest bull, there was simply nothing else I would settle for. This can sometimes be a downfall, when you try to stalk past perfectly good bulls, just to get to the one that have caught your eye. Sometimes this simply doesn't work out. This time, it did. This is a world class bull, that came out of a fully self sustainable herd. Teeth almost at their end.

Lechwe are such stunning animals and their beauty always amazes me. There seems to be quite the variation in terms of the label for a male. For most part, we have always and have seen them referred to as bulls. Lately, I have seen them referred to as a ram. Is it a ram or bull? They are interchangeable.

What say you?

When you see a high quality animal such as this, there are absolutely no second guesses. Once we saw this ram, we immediately decided to pursue. After a stalk through some undergrowth to stay hidden, we came out roughly 150 yards from where we spotted this ram with his ewe. It was evident that something was going on, simply by the two younger rams that had caught her scent and came to investigate.
After getting busted by some Blesbuck, the pair continued to walk away from us, as we tried to balance a pace of not getting left behind, but also avoid from being seen. We managed to catch a glimpse of their position where the laid down, as Common Reedbuck often do when sensing danger. We proceeded to stalk to a mere 80 yards and waited.
After roughly an hour, the Blesbuck decided to investigate our area again, and once again got spooked, only to run right by the pair, getting him to stand up which was enough of an opportunity at that distance to close the deal.
An absolutely magnificent Common Reedbuck ram, with great secondary growth.
