"I had originally intended to only shoot predators but when the opportunity arose to shoot a blackbuck I could not resist. I have been wanting a blackbuck for several years and had hunted for one earlier with another outfitter but was unsuccessful. The ranch I hunted on had some excellent blackbucks and Dan did a great job guiding me. I ended up with a really nice blackbuck, about 22" long (straight measurement) with a 23" spread at the tips. It is an impressive trophy and I can't wait to get it back from the taxidermist. Because I had not intended to shoot anything but predators I did not have a suitable rifle. Special thanks goes to Melony for letting me use her .280 to shoot the blackbuck. I would have no hesitation in recommending Magnum Guide Service to my friends. Everything was as advertised and more. Having recently finished a hunt with another outfitter where things were not as advertised, I was especially pleased. I sent a good report on my hunt to The Hunting Report. Again, thank you for a great time."
