Now this is a big blue wildebeest!

We saw this guy last year in South Africa...by far the biggest we've ever seen! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfG-j09XIU0

We guessed him over 30" for sure He was heads and tails bigger than anything we've ever seen.

This is an old trail cam photo of mine but this will give you an idea of a bull I will shoot with the drop of a hat.

Our PH figured he was close to 32....several others that have looked at him agreed but we'll never know sadly!

scruffy

A big guy like this would certainly stand out in a herd. I have caught up on wildebeests so I would leave him to his salt block in peace …

A lion might not be as caught up as myself ..

ALF

First and foremost I am not a "trophy hunter" per se however when hunting African game will seek out specific animals passing on inferior animals ( bar if we are hunting specifically for meat only )

I was lucky on this one.

He measured 30 1/2 inches and my wife as a gift to me gifted me at the time a numbered limited edition ( 100 copies only of the centenary year ) bound in Elephant leather of RW records of big game.

I am the same Alf,

Not a trophy seeker but I got luckly with that big bull and put a very rewarding stalk on him (also got dinged a trophy fee). I decided to enter him in RW, had a euro mount done as well. Killed him with a Husky 1600 9.3x62; apropos of the veld and the species.
