Big Game Shooting 



leave him alone he is not worth having. A good 

 head is parallel at the tips, if not slightly divergent. 



I fancy that a herd will be found hard to stalk, 

 as they usually manage to see one first, and at 

 once make off. They will probably be found to 

 stop and graze slowly away a hundred yards 

 further on, but as a matter of fact are thoroughly 

 alarmed, and most likely are well on the move 

 by that time. I should say the single buck is 

 not quite so hard, as he has to find out everything 

 for himself, and has no helping hand to aid him. 



They are very widely distributed in East 

 Africa, being found in suitable districts where 

 there is water, from Laikipia to Kilimanjaro, and 

 from Nakuru to the Tana River. 



A good average head would be twenty-seven 

 inches.
