Everyone really needs to have two of these; a common and a white blesbok.   | |||

Well, the horns on mine aren't much to look at, but overall it was a great hunt and provided an interesting trophy. This guy was so old he had nearly no teeth. He was taken in the Free State with a .338 and 225 grain Interbonds at 303 yards.  _____________________ A successful man is one who earns more money than his wife can spend. | |||

Great Blesbok Blank, should definately be a gold class ram. Took my first in RSA. Mine may barely make gold. Will get to officially measure him soon.

Thanks, total SCI score was 47 7/8. He was running with a herd of about 100 animals. They kept running off before I was to get a shot, as you can see in the picture we had nothing to hide behind. But he was very easy to pick out as he dwarfed the rest of the blesbok. | |||

Lots of length but small bases. Old male that at first was thought to be a female, 'til he turned and we saw his goolies.  | |||

Here's my wife with hers.  An old man sleeps with his conscience, a young man sleeps with his dreams. | |||

Very nice Oupa. Congrats to the wife. My two were hunted in thick cover. Much harder to shoot than in the open and wary to boot. | |||

The following is a picture of a portion of my trophy room.  The three animals center frame are a white blesbok, common blesbok, and bontebok (full size mount). The two on the wall run about 16" and the bontebok is about 14". Kudude | |||

Kudude: Gorgeous mounts, and they are very tastefully displayed. I can only wish that my trophy rooms were as nicely laid out as yours. Luckily, with lots of space, I have an African room, a North American, whitetail deer room, and an antelope room. Most antlers nowadays just go on what the kids call the "wall of death" in the shop.  | |||

My wife refers to our trophy room as the "room of death". Wow, Kudude! | |||
