Almost Springbok Slam

[Divernhunter]

I hunted SA May 2017 and almost shot a Springbok Slam.
I did not finish it because I did not get a Copper Springbok.
I did not shoot a Copper for 2 reasons. First the cost was too much(especially since I took a Spiral Slam) and Two the copper looks too much like a common Springbok to me and not worth the cost just to say I did it.
Here are photos of my Common, Black and White Springbok from 2017 and a Common from my 2013 trip in the field and on the wall.

Nice animals. The black springbok looks a lot like a blesbok but smaller. I didn't realize there was so many different springbok's.

I thought pretty hard about shooting a white and black a couple months ago, but stuck with the common, so I could afford the other stuff I wanted as well. Cool critters, love the way they look!

Nice animals, Doug. I couldn't see it on the others, but the white one shows evidence of very good shot placement!

All were one shot kills using a 257W and 120gr Swift A-Frames or 100gr Barnes TTSX. I did a bit of shuffling of brass brands and got both to shoot within 1/2" vertically of each other with the hottest loads over my Chrono.
We did a sort-of measurement on the Black and it will be a SCI Gold animal. The others I have to wait a few days and measure them along with the other animals to see how they score. That is not really what matters to me. I just like an animal that will look good on the wall as well as in the photos.
