[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1108657, member: 30902"] This is my Black Wildebeest. He was the old man in a herd of forty or so and like the Kudu was at an age where he was beyond his prime. He measures over 31" and you can see his age in his chewed up, chipped up, and weathered bases. It took us over an hour to work into range and then another half hour or so to get a clear shot. He too was taken just a few minutes just before dark. The ranch owner was my guide and I really enjoyed hunting with him He is an excellent stalker and was willing to sit with me in a two man bobsled position so I could use his left shoulder as a rest to shoot off of. He went straight down on the shot which proved to be a solid heart/lung/shoulder shot yet still managed to get up twice to come after me as I approached after we'd given him five minutes or so to be sure he was done. Another shot through the liver and lungs and into the opposite shoulder clipping the spine as he spun around blindly looking for me brought on a quick end. Tough, tough animal. Hard to believe an animal no bigger than this could have so much fight in him! [/QUOTE]
