That's a Grevy zebra, only found in the north east portion of Kenya, near the border with Somalia. They're larger than the Burchell's zebra, found elsewhere, have longer ears, and evidently, from the reaction fo the local tribespeople, are a much desired delicacy. Two of their skins grace my floors, one from 1971, the other from 1975.

The brindled gnu is in Rowland Ward's Records of Big Game. He was taken in the Selous in Tanzania in 1972. I was told to look for a bull whose horns were wider than his ears, and as you can see, this one's are.

I was holding my battered .300 H&H Model 70 with its 26" barrel to illustrate the width of the horns of this impala.

That waterbuck, Kenya 1971, was as tough an animal as I have ever encountered. The first shot from the .300 H&H put him down, but it took three more shots from point blank range to put a stop to his suffering.

The gerenuk was one of the most difficult trophies to obtain, because I constantly overestimated the range and shot over them. Trying to make a quick distance estimate where the target varies from Thompson's to Grant's to Peters' gazelles creates problems, also. I would probably have been better off shooting with a .243 Winchester or even a .220 Swift, instead of the 180 grain Silvertips in the .300 H&H.

Thanks for the photos XAUSA.

Lovely skin on the zebra.

And the gerenuk too. What an unusual antelope.
