Dear fellow hunters,
Can you identify the African antelope or gazelle by these horns?
Thank you.

Reedbuck of sorts better pictures will make id easier...
 
Horns are abnormally narrow for a.common reedbuck......
 
Mountain reedbuck maybe ?

Length of horns would be helpful.
 
It will help if the exact African country can be named from where the horns derive.

I believe this might be a set of Bohor Reedbuck horns.
 
Could be Bohor but the horns seem to long for that...besides the horns are from an immature animal and there is no secondary growth....it could also be from a young common reedbuck....
Definately not mountain reedbuck...
Odd photo angle also complicates id
 
What about a dibatag (clark’s gazelle)?

Would help to know where it was taken.
 
Likely, a nice size Common Reedbuck. A better angle would help…

Is this the only picture of the horns?
 
I’d guess common reedbuck with slightly diminished base bulbs due to stress, season or malnutrition?
 
Where did animal live ?

Length of horns ?

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.
