Hi Everyone, Just thought I would share this pic of a monster bushbuck photographed by Warren Rudy, a friend of mine recently. And no I'm not saying where, will give me a challenge to find him myself during the off season. So what size are you guys guessing? I know I'd shoot him on the first morning of a 10 day hunt! Regards Murray | ||

The guy who took the photo and myself are just to plain stupid to be able to work that photoshop thing  If someone else posted it I would'nt believe it. Warren the photographer has told me which area he took the pic but not the exact location (will get that info out of him afetr a bottle of Jack!), looks like someones steriod fed pet if you ask me | |||

Equivalent to a 50" Cape buffalo! Amazing. I think it is half nyala.

The rare and elusive midget nyala. Horns almost remind me of a sitatunga.Let's hope he's being successful with the lady bushbucks so we can see plenty more like him. ____________________________ If you died tomorrow, what would you have done today ... 2018 Zimbabwe - Tuskless w/ Nengasha Safaris 2011 Mozambique - Buffalo w/ Mashambanzou Safaris | |||

Mature, but he doesn't look very old. Would appear he's had excellent nutrition and genetics. 21 inches would be my estimate. That would be worth flying over to hunt...1x1 for 10 days, 14 if necessary.

I think 20+ is an overestimation....not to take anything away from this great animal. If he grew up wild and unfed and not in a paddock, he is the trophy of a lifetime at maybe just over 18". JMHO | |||

WHY shoot him, a little brain matter would tell any half-wit to let him breed.  The good news is that at least the begger is in a reserve where he can make the girls happy. Mr Rudy should tell of the bushpigs in the same vicinity.  SUSTAINABLY HUNTING THE BLUE PLANET!

The world record of just over 21 is in my local bow shop and use to hang in my office. It is a pick up by good friend Riaan de Jager. This animal is in the same class.....unless it is from the Eastern Cape then it must be about 18" Charl van Rooyen Owner Infinito Travel Group www.infinito-safaris.com charl@infinito-safaris.com Cell: +27 78 444 7661 Tel: +27 13 262 4077 Fax:+27 13 262 3845 Hereford Street 28A Groblersdal 0470 Limpopo R.S.A.

Wow Murray! I hope he breeds fast before someone gets him, what a trophy. Give Dutch a pet and tell Petra hi for us. For those who aren't familiar, Dutch is Murray's three legged tracking dog that gets around like you would not believe. | |||
