I was recently at Takeri private reserve on the Kafue and one of the managers shot this gnarly old bushbuck for the kitchen. I measure the longest horn at 16 inches and if you follow the taper it would have gone at least 19 in it's prime. Whatever the length an absolute brute of a bushbuck and it is not often you see them broken on both sides.

Very nice lot of character. Frederik Cocquyt I always try to use enough gun but then sometimes a brainshot works just as good. | |||

Beauty is in age! At least that works for me! Beautiful, lots of character and most desirable!

Lack of skills – by practice. Lack of experience – by time doing it. One cannot cure: Stupidity – nothing helps! Anti hunting sentiments – nothing helps! Put-‘n-Take Outfitters – money rules!

Shame to shoot that one for the pot. Probably couldn't stick a fork in the gravy. He was a beautiful old bruiser wasn't he? Have gun- Will travel The value of a trophy is computed directly in terms of personal investment in its acquisition. Robert Ruark | |||

He died an old man for sure.  Would have been a wonderful and interesting mount, especially for European clients. | |||

A true trophy like that and a scrum cap buff and I would be over the moon.  | |||

Great trophy. I am not sure it was that good for dinner!  "When the wind stops....start rowing. When the wind starts, get the sail up quick." | |||

hi everyone.... now this is where I have to include Andrew, as when I was invited to join a hunt with him last year he commented that one cannot eat blue duiker or hippo....and as I love cooking as well I had to reply "its not what you cook but how you cook it!!!" we culled this ram as it was at the end of the season and he was old - I don't think he would have made another season so I thought rather take him out and as we are on private property its a case of letting nothing go to waste.. and we don't have major predators so we do cull older animals - doing what nature would do! ....and he was tasty!! pressure cooker can do wonders plus a bit of spices and curry! | |||

This season we took 3 top trophies - measuring between 16 and 17" and all with incredibly thick bases - and some of the most beautiful markings -chobe bushbuck | |||

My mouth is watering. Not just for the taste of him but the thought of having hunted such a magnificent animal. I LOVE BUSHBUCKS! LORD, let my bullets go where my crosshairs show. Not all who wander are lost. NEVER TRUST A FART!!! Cecil Leonard | |||

I agree - nothing beats that early morning stalk - walking as quietly as possible and seeing a big ram before he sees you! I have also being doing a number of blue duiker hunts - also a challenge but so rewarding if you get one! | |||
