Not to be outdone by CRS, she decided she should have a blackbuck too.

Thanks to DUFF L BAG for the 45 Colt rifle that fired a 300gr Cast Performance out 117 yards to knock this guy down. Do I have to tell you the bullet went through broadside on the 80 something pound critter?

Was the dominant darker buck around anywhere???

There were 3 "black" bucks, but they were introduced a while ago. This guy was born on the ranch and will not turn black until he is around 4 years old and only in the winter. He was 3 when he was taken. Don't want him to inbreed since that is what would be on his mind next month.

He looks very well fed. Where did the hunt take place?

Congrats to the Mrs on such a nice Black Buck. Glad to see that you are getting some use out of the rifle.

Very Nice!

I didn't know that they were yellow before they fully matured. That's neat.
