Most beautiful antelope?

[WAB]

Wow, interesting post! Eland are my favorite antelope to hunt. As far as most beautiful, it would be tough for me to choose between kudu and nyala.

@Kevin Peacocke ,

You should see if @BRICKBURN can add a poll to the original post. Just my 2 c

Maybe make it 5 choices and 1 "other"

Based on the choices I have read through already: Sable, Gemsbok, Bongo, Kudu, Nylala, other.

Good idea, be my guest. Ok, list five, choose one and we can add up after a while, maybe a few days. @BRICKBURN?

1.Bongo - coloration - it’s not even close IMHO.
2. Sable
3. Nyla or sable could be interchangeable.
4. Grant’s Gazelle or kudu - tough call for me.
5. Kudu or oryx/gemsbok

Gemsbok for me
Nyala, sable, bushbuck, springbok would be in the running for me too

 

[Scott CWO]

Similar to kudu but more hair and colors. From a distance, nyala appear blue to me.

Grant’s look really cool and also love Robert’s gazelle

Bongo. Then Kudu. Then I guess Sable and Nyala.

I almost put these guys on my post. What a beautiful animal. Love the horns. But expensive to hunt no?

Gemsbok, they’re beautiful animals.

Gemsbok, a dark cape bushbuck ( I missed one close to black and still kick my own ass for it), and although a bit different I think Roan are stunning as well

 

[Ragman]

1). Kudu
2). Sable
3). Grant’s Gazelle
4). Bushbuck
5). Nyala

Mountain Nayala

Gotta vote for Sable. The big mature bulls are the aristocrats of African antelope.

For me it’s the Kudu followed by the Waterbuck. There is nothing to elaborate on about the Kudu but I think that the size and the rugged handsome looks of the Waterbuck always seem to impress me!

Tanzania, in general, is expensive but trophy fee on GG was just $800.

One thing we can all agree on is that all the ones mentioned are beautiful. It's hard to rank them. There are a few I don't have such as harnessed bushbuck, LDE, mountain nyala and gemsbok/oryx. Maybe someday! I do have a fringe-eared orxy from TZ but still want a gemsbok from Namibia or somewhere.
