How to kill a springbok Namibian style
I was going through some photos and reliving some past hunts when I came across this photo of my buddy's springbok.
After the shot, we walked up to this springbok only to find it very much still alive. Before we knew it, our PH handed his knife to the tracker then grabbed to springbok by the horns. The tracker then inserted the blade to administer to coup de grace.

I hope that springbok was worth it! You must have got an extra fiesty one.

No, sorry, never on a springbok. Once on an arapawa ram, another on a bull elk and lastly a buck deer.
Didn't mean I broke three on one critter.

Only tried the knife finish on a mulie doe once after I lost my leather spare cartridge case in the field. My son thought it was gross but it got the job done.

I was pretty sure you didn't break all of them on one critter. It's fun when it's more than one.

Did you buy a fourth Leatherboy? Looks like a good plug for Swiss Army but did he use the corkscrew, the awl, the philips or the...........

No, Leatherman is real good at replacing the tools. No questions asked. I've finished nearly 20 critters this way and it is only when I use the marginally sized Leatherman and need to give it a twist to finish the job that things break.

Wow....you mean no on else dispatches an animal this way?? This same technique works well for caribou, sheep and I assume deer although I've never done it. This causes instant paralysis and the main artery runs right along the side of it....been doing this for years
It is amazingly simple and I'm sure that Bobby B. can attest that it "slips" in there without almost any effort....kinda freaky actually. The long sleep is only 30 seconds away at most.
