Waterbuck of a lifetime

[xphunter]

Waterbuck of a lifetime. Double kneeling off of Bog Gear. Tried both prone and sitting, but there was too many limbs in the way. Even with double kneeling I had to thread the needle so to speak. Relatively short shot at 176 yards I think (Could be 167). One shot and 40 yards later he was done. Thanks to Thinus En Sanet Steyn (Big Water Safaris) and Philip! Had a hunting/shooting buddy with me too, Todd Fischer. Another very good friend, Darrell Holland had hunted with me on my first day. 7mm Dakota XP-100/180 Grain Berger. It will be measured tomorrow. He weighed 750 pounds.

That is an amazing-looking animal. Congrats on doing so well on your safari.

And may you have many more visits to Africa.

Whoa. If those measurements don't shrink, that is a SCI Gold level award!

I'm sure they're going to shrink some
