Hunting is hunting. Sometimes the hunts are easy, other times, not. It took me 6 full days of hunting, focused solely on Waterbuck before I got mine....a very nice 29 incher. Three straight days of strong, cold winds put the screws to us on those days. We ate the meat from my Waterbuck, and everyone enjoyed it. The P.H. made certain that it was carefully skinned as well, making sure that no hair came into contact with the flesh, and used separate skinning knives so as not to contaminate the flesh.
