Nah, they are really light, built for speed!
When I say dressed I mean hanging in the chiller ready to butcher, so would weigh more just gutted like you would carry out a deer here.
Good challenge to hunt though, tend to like open plains and can spot you from a way off, so unless you are a phenomenal stalker they are quite a challenge.
NZ_Hunter did well to get to 70m!

The plan is to stay here for the year. But who knows what happen, hopefully it all works out!

No way! What a small world! Swakopmund is definitely an amazing little town

I don't know if you can make out the small specs. But there are literally hundreds of Springbok on the local golf course. Can get to about 5-6m from them till they bolt away. Was another amazing experience to putt balls with Springbok on the green!

No doubt why they are so useless at rugby! Spend to much time loitering on the golf course

It's pretty amazing the golf course is green!! Good shooting on the springbok.

Crack up to see them on the golf course but of course the only green grass for miles would have to pull the animals if they are not allowed to be shot.
