It is probarbly my 4th year I am going to try and see if I can find a waterbuck bull in my crosshairs.
Luck has not been on my side but I'm sure the bull of my dreams will finaly come into my sights.
They are robust regal animals and do not form part of the glory animals like Kudu and sable but are absoluut special to me.
As far as I know no one has managed and hope ist stays that way to get a different colour phase in them.
Waterbuck is also one of the animals that I have not hunted much with clients way back when I was a full time PH and I have not shot one myself also.
So except for slowly working on the tiny ten I stillk keep hammering on my species list.
Last year was my first giraffe and hopefully I will get chance at my first waterbuck and hoefully a good bull.
I am planning to either use my 375 H&H with 300gr SBC bullets or my 7x57 with 160gr bullets.
My son will be hunting with me and we will carry both he will be after a kudu cow or a zebra both he has not shot before also so trying for a new specie himself.
Otherwise I will shoot blue wildebeest cow for the fridge.
We are gouig way up north in Limpopo north of a small town called Waterpoort on a fram I do not know but will be a mix of Mopane and Acacia and somey rocky outcrops koppies. Cannot wait. Area is also know for some good warties and if I bump into one you know how it goes??
So show me your waterbuck trophies please to get me pumped up.
