It was AWESOME! I was down at my buddies ranch helping him build feeder pens and new stand and doing a bit of predator hunting, when he tells me about this monster blackbuck he's been seeing. Long story short he talks me into taking him and the hunt was on. We looked for him for hours and every time we found him he would give us the slip before getting a good shot opportunity. Well right around sun down the stars aligned and as he ran down the brush line I took my shot. Shot was about 170 yards and he was running but I stopped him dead in his tracks. The shot was a little farther back on him than I would've like, hit him through the spine about halfway down his body but he was dispatched quick so I guess that's all that matters. I would rather miss an animal all together than wound it and have it suffer.
Anyway. My buddy measured him yesterday at 54" but we will get an official measurement from my taxidermist.
