You're such an attention slut John, always making sure you are in the limelight.

I was there as well , we must have just passed each other !!!!! I got there about 1300hrs. Did you see the little .303's ? It's one of my favorite places in London to hang out . I'll be there again on Monday afternoon .

Well, it has been 16 years since I lived in Southern Africa, but it looks like a Red Hartebeest. Although I have been back several times wingshooting, I have not encountered a Hartebeest while shooting, but have driven by Hartebeestpoort dam while I was there on the way to shooting.

Transvaal

Very interesting! It does have the resemblance of a Red Hartebeest but the horns didn't look right to me, now I know why!
Here's some more info on the Hunter's Hartebeest or Hirola for anyone interested:
