Most beautiful antelope?

The Giant Angolan Sable...the real one!

I got thinking this evening watching a glorious sunset about the magnificent beauty of the animals we hunt. Do a search on this forum on 'most beautiful antelope' and the results go on and on and clearly all hunters find their quarry beautiful. But if we were to crown just one, limiting it to Africa for now although the world has many, what would the winner be? Grace, poise, proportion, markings, horns - so much to love. So, what is your choice?

LDE easy

And then there are these...largest horn per body size I believe.

All antelope are magnificent, it is true. It is as if they vie for pride of place and all get a crown.

What is it?

 

[Cam Moon]

I believe it's a Grant's gazelle but I could be wrong.

 

[sestoppelman]

Bongo, nyala, bushbuck and then the rest of the spiral horns before anything else.

Grants, Peters or Roberts gazelle in post 63.

A wise man you are! That's why the GG is high on my list as well.

Hard to argue with your logic, Sir!

Grant's Gazelle if your asking. All three are very special, however.

Nyala
Bongo
Sable
Kudu
Gemsbok

Eland and then on top Lord Derby.
The grace with which these giants tripple in the field always blows my mind.

Make sure you all vote so we capture all this.

All beautiful antelope. I’m going to say it varies based on which one I’m looking at through my crosshairs...

+1 but I would swap out eland with the bushbuck. Eland is #1 on my ‘want’ list though, the type of hunt really appeals to me.

When the numbers are added up and there is a tie, what is the criteria to break this? Maybe which antelope tastes the best... But that’s a whole new thread

Post above mine was wondering.
