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.

The Oryx is an nice, an beautiful animal.
I love to photograph them.

In some months I will be in Africa, in Namibia, again.
I will hunt the heartebeast (red) then, but I cant wait to see the Oryx again.

Here I send some more photos of my collection.

Jaguarhunter,

Some very beautiful photos of gemsbok there. Well done.

A lovely animal to hunt too.

Hi Jaguarhunter,

Wonderful photo's, are they taken with a telephoto lens as they seem so close you could almost touch them.

Cheers,

Jeff Gray

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.

Gun: Winchester m/1895 in 8,2x52R + 200grs Nosler Accubond
Mauser something bolt-action .30-06 + Norma Alaska 180grs

This one was tough as nails! Took 2 hits and 4 good misses to put him down....

This is the very first animal I took in Africa! I guess this is where you could say that I first got infected with the Bug! And we all know there is NO cure!

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.



Cheers for now,

Jeff Gray

This is my wife Alicia with my Gemsbok that I took on our first trip in 2006.



Obviously at this point I've become distracted and lost interest in hunting...

That's one animal I still need to put up on the wall and they are very tough sometimes.

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.
