Watusi Hunt in Cali
« on: November 19, 2013, 04:24:28 PM »
Well my little brother wanted to shoot something before he headed off to Germany. ( He's military)  He made the calls and lined up a trip to Southern California and we headed out on this hunt.  We saw a few animals on the first day but nothing he wanted then the next day saw this big watusi. 

After a couple mins of glassing him over the stalk was on.  He broke in his new Hoyt and was pretty excited.  Fun times and I am gonna miss my hunting partner atleast for a few more years.   :tup:

Curious does not mean the same thing to me as it does you.  Judgmental is more like it.

I did one in a euro for my buddy last year.  He raised it for beef.   My buddy also has a watusi/longhorn cross that its horns are getting close to 7 feet wide.

  Watusi can be just as wild with hunting pressure as any other animal . they are smart can be vary spooky . if they see a truck or a person they are gone . I use to do custom farm slaughtering and some times we had to hunt them down for days when they get out . they can jump fence just like elk .

Let's not get judgemental, or someone may question the deer in your avatar, cause it looks like it was shot over feed, in a farmers field. We don't want to go there...

I remember this hunt myself and MLBowhunting drove down to California and this Watusi would not stay still so I had to shoot him while he was walking a couple times with my bow. It was difficult especially when our guide was pressuring me to shoot. I ended up shoulder mounting it and it looks real nice.

Best of luck to your brother as he heads off to Germany.  Please pass along my appreciation for his dedication and his service to our country.  May God bless the USA and all who serve her....
