I just shot two Blue Wildebeests, had to use my big combat knife to get through the tough hide.

It was raining so the pic is not great.Girlfriend was worried her hair was getting wet LOL

Congrats. Andre, that does look like one tough critter. What did it weigh? Glad the girl friend was there to help.

Hi Robert, thanks.

My skinners are still busy with them, but it must be about 235kg dressed weight.Will take it into the butcher later to weigh.Girlfriend is always willing to help except when it there is rain or blood.

Shown in this pic is a black Wildebeest , note the differant looking horns.Also they are a bit smaller than the blue.

That's great Andre, good sport. How do you cook the meat?

Wildebeest meat is not so great.Especially these big old boys.You can make sausages and mince or biltong out of it.

If i get a young one I may do a stew , in those big black steel pots, we call them potjie pots.It takes a few hours, but usually very good.

A few of us managed some ducks and squirrels for super on our deer hunt. The wheather was warm and the deer had plenty of acorns to eat without moving much, that spelled poor deer hunting. Everyone still had a great time in the outdoors.

I am going on that big time Exotic deer hunt this weekend. I am surely looking foward to it. We will duck and squirrel hunt in the morning and deer hunt in the evening. Someone bringing me hunting, will be a change for me.lol I'll try take more pictures.

Hi Jan

Yes I do have a lot of differant horns available.Wildebeest looks the same as buffalo horn, its just a lot smaller.I did a few kit knives up with horn and bone last year, and sold them at shows.Note the one with filework and black handle is wildebeest horn.

Let me know what you would like?
