Blue Wildebeest hunting in Namibia
Blue Wildebeest hunting in Namibia

Minimum caliber:
.270 (or equivalent in mm) / 2700 joules
Did you know?
Cattle and wildebeest are not allowed to share the same farmland. The only exception to all other game species is that this combination must be separated by a double game fence to prevent disease. They can however be found in conservancies, where they can roam freely.
Indigenous to Namibia
Historical habitat range in northern and eastern areas of the country
- Strong, rustic stature
- Mature bulls have black or dark hair between the base of the horn and on the forehead
If red or brown hair is visible in front, this is an immature trophy - Older bulls have broader stripes and look slightly darker
- The horns of a bull are much thicker at the base of the horns
- The horns between a cow and a bull differ as follows: In bulls, the horns first slope down a bit and then run upward with a strong sweep. In a cow, on the other hand, the horns are initially more horizontal, followed by a milder upward shaping.
