if you had to choose 4 plains game species to hunt over a watering hole, what would they be, also, show some pics of your plains game kills

Hopefully you'll get some good responses and pics.  It is my life-long dream to go myself.  My list would include:

Greater Kudu
Gemsbok
Sable
Nyala

Roan
Oryx
Wildebeest
Warthog

Roan?

My first choice would be Zebra


Next would be Nyala

Then Kudu

and you can't leave out the Impala

The one I would truly love but could not afford is the Sable.  Gemsbuck are a beautiful trophy also.  Joseph

Eland
Gemsbok
Sable
Caracal

Nyala, Kudu, Impala, and zebra or warthog.  In that order.  Sable would also be high on the list but unfortunately is also on the too high priced list for me.

Roan ...

for me it would have to be Bushbuck and Bushpig but walk an stalk.

then Gemsbok

and if i was pushing the boat out a bit i would have to be a sitatunga

For me...

Bushbuck
Bushpig
Eland
Gemsbok
And an extra animal....Caracal!   :D  

My dream would be to get all of those walk and stalk!  

Bushbuck
Nyala
Eland
Kudu
Waterbuck

Saving and planning for 2010.

Andy,

Sitatunga??? Where are they found? Have not seen them on a species list. Looks like they have spiral horns like most of the ones I wish to take. Maybe I can add one of those also.

Danny

Danny, for one of those you have to go the central africa in the rain forests, I dont think they live in southern africa

The Gemsbok is a beautiful animal and very worthy of being one of your trophy animals.



Another would have to be the South African "Whitetail"...the Impala.



If money were no object, I believe the premier plains game would be the Sable.  For others like me, the Greater Kudu would have to do, but unfortunately, I could not get one with my recurve, but took a great 52" one with a rifle.

Danny,

The sitatunga is a very rare antelope that is found primarily in the Okovango Delta, Botswana and in some places in the Caprivi, Namibia. As you can see by where they reside, they are very dependent on water in that they eat the reads and grass that grow on the edges of bodies of water. They are one of the only antelope that spend most of their time immersed in water, and when they are disturbed by predators, they completely submerge themselves in water leaving only their nose out of the water so they can breath.
They have similar spiral horns to that of a Nyala. They are an amazingly beautiful antelope, and are very rare and shy. I don't know of anyone that has taken one with trad bow, but they are definitely one of my dream animals to hunt!

hi Danny
see Nigel helped me out there, there distribution is Swamp forests and marshes in Central and Western Africa.

as well as being able to completely submerge them selves in water to avoid predators they also have a very interesting hoove which is elongated with a wide splay allowing them to walk easly boggy and marshy ground, check this out.
