[ARCHIVED THREAD] - I just did a mag dump to let the dogs out. 7/19 with Gemsbok Warfare Group patch (Page 1 of 3)
Posted: 7/1/2017 11:12:59 PM EDT
| I went to let out the two GSD's out for the night and a Gemsbok was thirty yard from my porch. Did a mag dump from my AR into the dirt and it did not move. I had to get the Polaris Ranger and run him off. This is the second time this week. I thought illegals were bad. |

Guess they didn't get any smarter when they got imported. Damn things will stand broadside for as long as it takes to get a shot off, they will run like hell for a long time after they are dead though. |

They are the only animal in Affrica that will kill lions. Quoted:

Cape Buffalo manage from time to time. at 400+ pounds and packing those needle-sharp horns, they are formidable. from wiki: Ecology and behavior[edit] Sable antelope live in savanna woodlands and grasslands during the dry season, where they eat mid-length grasses and leaves. They visit salt licks and have been known to chew bones to collect minerals. They are diurnal, but are less active during the heat of the day. They form herds of 10 to 30 females and calves led by a single male, called a bull. Males fight among themselves; they drop to their knees and use their horns. In each herd, the juvenile males are exiled from the herd around three years old. All of the female calves remain, however. When the herd gets too large, it divides into smaller groups of cows and their young. These groups form new herds, once again with only one adult bull. The young males, which have been separated from the herd, associate in "bachelor groups" of up to 12 individuals. Among the bachelors, the most dominant is the first individual to join a new group of females when the position is open. Seldom, during their fights for dominance, they are able to inflict bodily harm to the contender. When sable antelopes are threatened by predators, including lions, they confront them, using their scimitar-shaped horns. Many of these big cats have died during such fights. Numbers have been reduced severely as part of regional tse-tse fly control programs. The grassland habitat of the sable is being reduced by habitat destruction for agricultural development. Antelope are important to their habitats as grazers and browsers. They are also important as prey for carnivores. |

Hunted them in Africa and took a very large female (very difficult to gauge gender from a distance and this female had the largest horns, although one was broomed). The PH said they're extremely dangerous to dogs as they'll wait for the dog to get close then whip their head in such a way as to snap their horns down perpendicular across the dog and break its back and/or neck.
He said they're so quick with their heads that when they go to tranquilizer dart them they need two people: on to throw a pebble at them right before the other fires the dart, otherwise they'll knock the dart right out of the air with their horns. I was thinking the latter part of that story was BS but this guy was the most straightforward, unassuming and not the type to tell me tall tales. |

does the ranch where you work do the hunts or just breed and sell the animals? |

He is back tonight, if it was not so dry I would shoot some roman candles or bottle rockets at him.
I guess he has decided this is his territory, I have been seeing him near the house during the day for a few weeks. I need a hunter to come kill this asswipe before I write a check I do not want to. |
