I have killed a few kongoni. They are hardy animals and sometimes tougher than bullets can understand. Here's one that I shot about 15 years ago. I would love to see others' kongoni. Please post some. Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | ||

Walter calls them kojonis! They are very shy and run away at the slighted knowledge of your presence. But some are a bit slow. Driving along one morning. We see a bull standing not far. Down wind. Looking straight at us. Roy said to Walter. “Better jump out and shoot that stupid kongoni. You two have sometimes common or he wouldn’t be standing there. Downwind and all” Walter shot him  | |||

Does the name kongoni mean all hartebeests or specific ones or species? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.

It is a Swahili word, so I believe it chiefly refers to the Lichtenstein's hartebeest of East Africa. Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||

Or Coke's, from Masailand. Same word. I've shot multiple of both and some good ones. I know the locals love the meat, but it's not my favorite. Not enough texture. It's actually too tender. Doesn't hold long as bait for the same reason, but shot a leopard off a forequarter (not much) that had been held back for the kitchen -- we stole it. Needed bait. | |||

Saeed is right, these are some of the sharpest eyed antelope. Kongoni will run at 5-600 yards, as soon as they see you. Message, don't let them see you. | |||

What about Jackson’s Hartebeest from eastern Uganda and western Kenya? Swahili is used there to some extent and some of the Karamojong trackers called them Kongoni. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ J.

Certainly them, and Coke's, too. Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||

Great kongoni, Andrew. Another one I killed, but on the wall. Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||

Another one, back when we used Nikon F100s and shot in B&W. And wore Stewart Granger hats. And yes, those are Blasers.  Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||

Great photo Mike. And I like the hat ___________________________________________________________________________________ Give me the simple life; an AK-47, a good guard dog and a nymphomaniac who owns a liquor store. | |||
