Good looking wildebeest and very nice photo of the beest and the beast that ended it all.

Whats for next Easter Weekend

Nice looking rifle. Do tell.

Much better than hunting boiled easter eggs

The rifle is a .375H&H custom. (My pride and joy!!)

The action is a standard K98 and the barrel is a Vector. The sight is a peep sight made for lever action rifles.

I hunted the wildebeest with rhino 300gr bullets. I shot the wildebeest in the chest while facing me at 80 yards. The wildebeest fell right down but after a few seconds it got on it's feet and on his way. I snapped a second shot at the spine and it fell again. I missed the spine with an inch and had to shoot it through the neck when it tried to get up after the second shot.

The first shot was a proper lung shot!!! These poor man's bufalo sure are tough!

Congrats...good shooting and very nice pics..

In my experience, a frontal shot on WB is risky. If you don't get the hart or a major artery, you get only one lung, no major bones, and those animals can go a long way on four good legs and one lung.

Good shooting.

And nice trophy. I also like your rifle. Great piece of wood.

Congrats!
