I shot a wery nice bushbuck at my last trip to RSA it was 17 inshes any of you that know the top 1-5 on bushbuck shot with a bow in Sci and Rowland Ward?i have replied for membership in sci but cant wait to know!

The top 5 Limpopo Bushbuck with bow on SCI are 46 3/8, 46, 45 5/8, 45 2/8 and 45 1/8. You measure the length of both horns by following the spiral and the circumference at the base of each horn.

The top 2 on RW is 21 and 19 7/8 for South African Bushbuck, my book is dated 2003 so they might have changed and it does not say method of taking them.

Congratulations, hope this helps.

Wow thanks!!
My bushbuck is 46,4 score so it is nr 1-2
nor bad for a 1 time bowhunter.

Now there's an achievement! Any bushbuck with a bow would be an achievement, but a 17 incher is absolutely fantastic. Congratulations donner - now you just have to better it!

Congratulations!

46.4 is a bigger number than 46 3/8! The latter is 46.375. So you should be No. 1, unless somone somewhere rounded off the figures.

But that must be a fantastic bushbuck! Where was the hunt?

In good hunting.

Pretty much covers my thoughts on it exactly. Bushbucks are reputed to get quite dangerous at times. That was a pretty exciting hunt I'm sure.

Congratulations that is a great bushbuck, would not mind having that on my wall.

Congratulations !

Very Nice.
