Small - any of the pygmy antelope
Medium - Bushbuck
Dangerous - ole Spots

Interestingly I see some classify the bushbuck as small and some as medium or intermediate. Well I guess in the thick jess a wounded one could be classified as dangerous, eh.

I would say my favorites are:

Plains - Kudu
Dangerous - Elephant

(I'm not sure what intermediate is meant to include, besides eland. I do enjoy hunting eland, although I have never killed one.)

I could go with these choices, too, and be very happy:

Plains - Gemsbok
Dangerous - Cape Buffalo

I could hunt cape buffalo for the rest of my life, and not be bored, but to answer your question:

Small warthog

Medium All the wildebeast

Large (dangerous) Cape buffalo, If I could afford it Lion, and Elephant on spoor, and leopard on bait.

"Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading" - Thomas Jefferson

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."

The only dangerous game I have hunted are leopard and buffalo, so this may change in a few years.

If we're talking about a "dream big" list, here's mine.

Lesser kudu/gerenuk/Grant's gazzelle
Sable
100lb Ele bull

Should we be talking in terms of trophies already taken or on the list in the immediate future..

Klipspringer (2010)
Livingston Eland (2010)
Ele bull (taken this year already!)

We seldom get to choose

Small Bushbuck
Medium Eland, although it ain't really "medium" sized.

Dangerous... That's hard. I will vote for buffalo as that's the one I have done the most, although both cats are their own fun.

Bushbuck - any miniture in the area
Kudu - sable - eland
CATS lion - leopard

Lions are so special, that feeling they give you when you're close. Hunting them is 99% pure boredom, 1% pure fear, the same a flighing a super cub in the Alaska bush.(But all DG should be that way).
