Early morning hunt.
Left home just before sunrise this morning, after an hour long walk through wet grass, with water logged boots and pants wet to the knee, I found this young wildebeest bull and two of his friends, both older and larger. A 280m, front angled shot with a .30-'06 and 167gr Peregrine bullets settled the matter.

Re: Early morning hunt.
Excellent result. May I ask how do you range, and before or after shot? Was the shot taken from shooting sticks?

Re: Early morning hunt.
The shot was taken from 4Deadhold shooting sticks fitted with the 5th leg. I range before shooting using a Leica rangefinder/bino, unless I guestimate the shot to be within 200m, then I just shoot.

Jealous!
I can't decide is that bush on the left looks familiar or not

No, that bush is several kilometers from this one. Originally Posted by Pirate

Re: Early morning hunt.
Looking at the grass cover and water in the first picture, the reserve should have enough forage for the winter months.
