Hope this helps. This is an Eastern Cape Bushbuck that I shot last Monday. It is quite light in color compared to some of the others that have a very dark choclate color but does give a decent view of the nose and ears.  | |||

Here is a picture of my Chobe Bushbuck that I took last June in Zimbabwe.  And here is the same Bushbuck after mounting. The taxidermist took this picture to use in their new brochure, and sent me a copy.  | |||

darkside; Not only do Bushbuck vary in body color, but most all have a 3 toned interior ear color. Most will have a light lemon base color with flesh and peach overtones. Similar to the Nyala. I've just begun taking close up pics of these details. I took another Cape Bushbuck two weeks ago but haven't processed my pics yet. If I get a better close up I'll PM it to you. Good hunting, LDK PS: That is a nice Bushbuck you took Brad [URL=  ]chobe Bushbuck[/URL][URL= ]Dark phase Cape Bushbuck[/URL][URL= ]Light phase Cape Bushbuck[/URL]Gray Ghost Hunting Safaris http://grayghostsafaris.com Phone: 615-860-4333 Email: hunts@grayghostsafaris.com NRA Benefactor DSC Professional Member SCI Member RMEF Life Member NWTF Guardian Life Sponsor NAHC Life Member Rowland Ward - SCI Scorer Took the wife the Eastern Cape for her first hunt: http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/6881000262 Hunting in the Stormberg, Winterberg and Hankey Mountains of the Eastern Cape 2018 http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/4801073142 Hunting the Eastern Cape, RSA May 22nd - June 15th 2007 http://forums.accuratereloadin...=810104007#810104007 16 Days in Zimbabwe: Leopard, plains game, fowl and more: http://forums.accuratereloadin...=212108409#212108409 Natal: Rhino, Croc, Nyala, Bushbuck and more http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/6341092311 Recent hunt in the Eastern Cape, August 2010: Pics added http://forums.accuratereloadin...261039941#9261039941 10 days in the Stormberg Mountains http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/7781081322 Back in the Stormberg Mountains with friends: May-June 2017 http://forums.accuratereloadin...6321043/m/6001078232 "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.

Some beautiful animals folks. Bwana, yours looks a lot like mine, yet mine is supposedly a Limpopo. Opinions from the peanut gallery ladies and gents? jorge   USN (ret) DRSS Verney-Carron 450NE Cogswell & Harrison 375 Fl NE Sabatti Big Five 375 FL Magnum NE DSC Life Member NRA Life Member | |||

Jorge, Your's seems to have a longer mane down the backbone, and the hair altogether seems longer than the hair on mine. Don't know if that's a trait of the Limpopo as opposed to the Chobe, or just the time of year it was shot. Does anyone know whether these various subspecies can and will interbreed? I'm assuming they can. | |||
