That's a beautiful trophy, with excellent definition on the mask.

Mine from October 2003 in RSA, not a huge one but a really fun hunt. Finally shot him in the neck thru a small opening on the brush while he was running. PH did not believe I could make the shot.

Here's mine from Namibia. 39 & 40"

"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."

Taken in the Northern Province of RSA in 2004-near Ellisras. Not a huge bull-but a hard won trophy!

Trophies are not dead animals...they are living memories.

This one was taken south of Windhoek.

I was really impressed at how good the meat is on gemsbuck.

U E G, What a lucky man you are to have hunted successfully such a fine trophy. The Gemsbok is one of my as yet unfufilled dreams. Once in the Transvall I saw the butts of two as they escaped into the thick... I don't even know how good they were nor if they were even shootable. Well done.

The first one is my son's who was 14 at the time, a 38 incher shot with my much misused Ruger 7x57. The second one is a 42.5 incher shot with my Whitworth .375, both were shot in Namibia, west of Winchoeck.

A shot not taken is always a miss
