Just was looking back at a photo of the Gemsbuck I took in May, 2024. I have noticed that most Gemsbuck appear to be really white in the face and mine is much more gray. Almost appears dirty...which it could be. I am not unhappy with my trophy but was just wondering if it is a sign of age, genetics, health or any other reason. I will upload a photo when I can.

All my Gemsbok from different parts of Namibia are the same coloration in photos both prime and very old. I’d suspect it is most likely genetics particularly if from South Africa where they aren’t native to most regions.

Good Morning x84958
I have read your post about Jamy Traut and your hunt in Caprivi. I am planning such a hunt for 2026, Oct with Jamy.
Just a question , because I will combine Caprivi and Panorama for PG, is the daily rate the same the week long, I mean the one for Caprivi or when in Panorama it will be a PG rate ?
thank you and congrats for your story.
Best regards
Philippe from France

Hello Doug,
I am Philippe from France and plan to go hunting Caprivi in 2026, Oct.
I have read on AH you had some time in Vic Falls after hunting. May I ask you with whom you have planned / organized the Chobe NP tour and the different visits. (with my GF we will have 4 days and 3 nights there)
Thank in advance, I will appreciate your response.
Merci
Philippe
