They are not as majestic as elephant or dangerous as a wounded leopard.... But this is an example of the quality trophies we have available ...  With bow in hand they are a real challenge to hunt and a lot of fun as well... What do you look for in a trophy class Impala???

Gerhard, That impala is a BRUISER! Every beginner going to Africa thinks that big impala and warthogs are the easiest animals to find and hunt. Nothing could be farther from the truth. What I love about impala is that an impala head on the wall of any room immediately turns that room into an "African" looking room. They are beautiful and elegant, and the trophy fee and taxidermy won't run you broke either. In short, they are the perfect African trophy animal! Glen | |||

Gerhard, nice impala! Hope some lucky hunter gets him before he dies of old age or a spotted cat gets him! Karl Stumpfe Ndumo Hunting Safaris www.huntingsafaris.net karl@huntingsafaris.net P.O.

Capstick said in one of his books that the impala would be one of Africa's most prized trophy if it was a bit more rare. That one is a beauty! I have taken at least one on each of my hunts. I think I have 5 in my trophy room.  | |||

Not that it really matters, but how big do you estimate that old boy to be? Close to 25"? | |||

True, the two rams in the photos are both exceptional for the respective areas. | |||

On my first Safari in Zim I shot over a dozen Impala with my 9,3x74R double rifle. I shot one as a trophy the rest were as bait for leopard. My PH was great, we hunted the impala on foot, spot and stalk. As a Texas deer hunter I really enjoyed each and every impala we took. All of them were exciting hunts in their own right, each was a challenge. It was great sport and great fun. DOUBLE RIFLE SHOOTERS SOCIETY | |||
