Plains Game
Bowhunting Grant's Gazelle
The grand gazelle of the East African plains, a buck carrying long, ringed, lyre-shaped horns that can reach 70 cm and more. Closing the distance on a mature male across open Tanzanian short-grass, with the whole herd on watch, is plains bowhunting at its purest.
