Well you get a waterbuck?

Today was one for the books. We started out in a box stand over looking a 20-30 acre clearing. A herd of bull and cow elk came in and left shortly there after. After a while we got down and decided to cover some ground on the ranch and see what we could find. About an hour later we happened in on a couple gemsbok feeding near a river bottom. One was an old broken horned cow and the other a nice bull. They moved off and after some discussing we decided to go back the way the gemsbok headed and try for the cow. 3 hours later we found the two gemsbok,plus several more. Quickly we set up the sticks and took the shot. A quick follow up shot and she was down. A great trophy and an unexpected surprise. She measure 39" on her good side.

After we got the gemsbok skinned and the meat taken care of, we went back out to look for the waterbuck bull I had originally come for. We had seen 10-12 waterbuck cows during the morning trek but no bulls and not the broken horned bull. Driving in we came up on a large field and saw a group of 15-18 cows and young in the field. We climbed up the nearby hill and looking over the top saw our bull. He saw us too and started moving off. He stopped, looked back, and I took the shot. He made it 30 yards up the hill and then came tumbling back down. Another great trophy down.

Congrats. You hit a broke horn grand slam today!!!!!!
