Spot and Stalk or Stalk and Spot, these are my favorite to hunt:
1. Kudu - the Grey Ghost is such an iconic African trophy.
2. Eland - find a fresh track on the road and follow it until you catch up to it is my preferred way to hunt Eland.
3. Sable - A big trophy in an open range area will give you a run for your money. Love how they climb up on anthills to take a look and always seem to know where you are before you know where they are
4. Bushbuck - Generally always is about a nice walk along a beautiful river's edge until you find the right mature buck. And in wild areas, this can often have you bumping into Eles, lions (or at least their tracks), cape buffs laying in thick reeds, hippo pools full of noises out of a Star Wars movie, and other critters that make for a wonderful hunt even when you don't find that right bushy.
5. Roan - Finding the right mature trophy and then getting a shot at it in an open range setting can take days to close the deal.
All of these hunts I prefer have a fair chase to them, an element of significant risk that the deal isn't closed upon the first stalk, take some studying of the horn quality and age before a shot is taken, and a yearning to do it all over again even when you are successful with the first trophy of each.
