Springbuck in the Kalahari Desert

[Heinrich]

These are pics of a smallish Springbuck that I had shot with a similiar load to the Blesbuck, 80gr of Wano, 385gr Bushveld Conical, and shot out my .50 Ranger by Traditions/Ardesa, with 1:48 rate of twist. Distance was just a tad over 120m, and as can be seen from the neck shot, she did never moved.

This Springbuck I shot with a spine shot, at about 75m, identical load as above.

This was my first ever Springbuck with muzzleloader, and took this very large ram at about 122m. Him I took with a heart shot.

Once again, Congratulations!
Interesting animals, great pics, and good shooting., Keep em coming. :hatsoff:

 

[Heinrich]

Thanks. :grin:

Springbuck on average will dress out around the 50 pound mark.

For these hunts in the Kalahari we drive about 9 hours. But we do have excellent bush hunting areas within about an hour from Pretoria where Titus and I live.

So Titus and you are colleges. Very nice to know. A SA hunting team.

Kirrmeister, Heinrich and I are brothers (by blood) and hence hunting colleauges... :v He was the lucky one, he got the German name and surname, I only got the surname... :haha: :haha:

WoW Africa looks like it would be realy cool to hunt in. Mabe some day after the kids have grown. Congrats and regards. Fisher King :hatsoff: .

 

[Heinrich]

I'm saving for a hunt in the United States, and hopefully it is on the cards for 2007.

But hunting in the African bush, and African desert is magic. This magic is even more when you are carrying a muzzleloader.

The times of Finaughty, Neumann, and Baldwin comes to life.

The Springbuck is a lovely, lovely little antelope.

Springbuck, if you'r lucky will dress out 20-24lb (9-11kg). Don't get the American's all worked up!

Nope. Titus is only my username on forums, my real name is Izak. :grin:

 

Outstanding and some very nice photos too. Is that some sort of fence or electric wires of some nature in the backgrond in the next to the last pic? Looks wicked.
