Re: "Bushbuck Fever"

Yes a good story indeed, sounds like a hell of a follow up!

My partner just took a nice Bushbuck last month on our SA trip, it was the last animal taken between us. We had been looking for one the whole time. We had seen a few immature bucks and females and put an unsuccessful stalk in on a good buck, but she ended up taking her buck from a hide. It turned out to be an exciting hunt none the less, we spent a fair time making a blind, only to have to move it and start again as the wind changed. The wind played havoc with the hunt the whole morning, we had seen a fair bit of game, and were just about to call it quits, when a very nervous female bushbuck wandered in with a nice buck following closely behind. Not sure who was more nervous, but she wasted no time and as the first clear shot presented, at about 20m, she took the shot. The buck ran and took a big tumble. The 180gr Woodleigh from her Kimber 308, certainly did the job.

They certainly are cool little animals, reminded me a lot of deer hunting.
