My First Blue Wildebeest
Hunters Greetings !!
Today I managed to hunt my first BWB which I have been wanting to do for the past few years. I just wanted to find a nice representative so that I could make a shoulder mount with. I hunted this bull in Queenstown Eastern Cape. I used my 308 Win with Nosler 165g Ballistic Tips at 265m shooting down into a valley. Thank fully the bull went down on the shot as I have heard from many a hunter how tough they can be. I was really chuffed with him. Apologies for the poor pic quality it was a pic taken from the cell phone on the digital camera due to still being on the farm
Best regards

Well done. Please tell us more about the shot placement, as well as how the ballistic tips performed(did you manage to recover it or did it pass through)?

Re: My First Blue Wildebeest
My shot was slightly high above the shoulder due to forgetting to take off 2 clicks (1/2 MOA) for shooting downhill. I will post details of bullet when recovering it from the meat
