Namibia 2005. In the Kalahari. Past Grootfontein. About 60km south of Bushman common land.
Same trip. Different area. These were taken in the Namib at Sussesvlei.
Boo!
These are by far my favourite African antelope.

This is an 9,3 too.
An old and good traditional caliber.
...a little bit "better" as the .35 wheelen.

I'll regurgitate this one as well. Herd management (ie cheap) male. Old and protective of his females but he had to go for fresher, younger genes.
Rifle was a .308W and 165 Woodleighs.
The video (again) showing textbook top of the heart and both lung placement.

The projectile cut from the skin on the opposite side.

I saw my first gemsbok in Zimbabwe on the border with Botswana in 1988. A good distance away. Finally got to hunt them in 2006 in Namibia. Now have two examples as pedestal mounts, as "bookends" for a door, but still lacking the actual wooden bases for them.
Gemsbok are such a magnificent animal.

This is my Gemsbok taken in August this year in the Free State where they do not grow as large as other areas. He only scored 82" S.C.I. Those present were Chris Troskie, myself and Mbuto the tracker.

Congrats on the trophy, and your wife is really pretty. I hope that my comment about your wife is not offensive. Actually, I found very clever, your comment distraction.
