SOUTH AFRICA: Free Range Common Reedbuck On The Hill Tops Of Dullstroom

[Soutie18]

Expectional free range common reedbuck in dullstroom. The elements were against us, with rain and mist making visibility poor. Spotting this ram was down to pure hunting luck at 300m. The shot was taken at 250m due to the mist AND rain. It was a now of never shot. This was such an amazing harvest of a free range trophy in the hill tops of Dullstroom.

Moved around the hole mountain range for about 4 hours in the rain/mist looking for a fellow deer with no luck and .BANG. this ram stood up and i had about 5 mins to get closer RAIN was coming in hard and to get to solid ground to shoot from . Only a rock out crop was my only option and so i moved so quickly the ph stayed behind and keep eyes on him . took dead rest on flat rock and squeezed one off .
