When hunting hartebeest in 2002 with 'BigFive' we tried all sorts of things to get onto them. Tracking them as usual after sighting. Trying to anticipate where they would cross tracks and ambushing them. Spooring vehicle tracks for their tracks etc.

We did have a couple quick opportunities but obviously need to work out which hartebeest is which as the males and females are similar.

One of the days we decided to attempt them in the middle of the heat of the day by tracking them to where they were lying down. We did this very successfully and while "Shorty" the tracker and "BigFive" were following the tracks intent, I saw we had walked right among them lying unseen in the grass in the shade. They jumped and thundered off only 17 yards away from us. Had I known which was which I could have blasted one.

We even extended the hunt by two or three days to keep at them.

'BigFive' is tormenting me by posting his success. But I can't wait to see the "Hellbeast" he has been successful on.
