It is a nice one but not as big as they get. He was 9 inch and 8 3/4 on other horn.The mtn reedbuck is a super one over 71/2

 

[Snoopdogg]

Man, I don't recognize all those animals, but you sure do have quite a few! Hoping to knock a few down myself very soon.

What's the white antelope? Also, that looks like a red wildebeest--what is that? It's very cool.

I like the White Springbuck.

the white one is a white springbuck there is also 2 copper springbuck mounts.

I think the other you are talking about is a golden wildbeest.

 

[billc]

I like the White Springbuck.

Thanks you will not see many white ones bigger then that. I was super happy to get a chance on him. The white ones are normally the smallest horn size of the common 4 colored springbucks

 

[Moe]

I need a white SB to complete my slam. Just an excuse really to keep going!

I guess I just had no clue there are so many. That golden wildebeest has a great colored coat.

 

[billc]

one day I hope to chase a silver springbuck and also the coffee colored one which are both limited were they are at.

 

[Homer]

[billc]

where can you hunt the silver and coffee springboks

they are very limited and takes some searching to find them. but there is some in free state northern cape and east cape. I know of a few in limpopo also but not as many place up there.

 

[lhrbull]

[lhrbull]

how long was the roan

 

[billc]

The roan was 29 1/2 just below the mark were most places in SA start charging more for 30 inch and above.

As of right now I can not say were the springbuck are as they only take one a year. If I find more or once I get mine I will be glad to share more info. Sorry about that. there is other springbucks also but there just a mix of black/white and brown/white lus one called a kings and another called marula.

[billc]

all the work being done on this post is by Splitting Image in the east cape. My old taxidermist sold his business and took his crew there and why I am using them now

 

[billc]
