Most often, it is hunted by stalking on land or at drinking places. Aim at the chest. You may expect to be attacked back only by a wounded animal and from an immediate proximity.

Caliber:

We recommend a caliber of minimum .30-06 with a 11,7-gram bullet.

Trophy:

The horns, some prepare the skin, too, but we do not consider it fit. A chest mount if very beautiful. We do not recommend preparation in Africa. The record of a horn is 82 cm.
