[QUOTE="JohnnieB, post: 1467014, member: 41502"] Gemsbok are tough, and if you wound them, can be very dangerous and they can run forever. Your 300WM is plenty but I would suggest you dial your range back somewhat, as mentioned above if its a once in a lifetime hunt, get closer. And, most importantly, look at some vitals diagrams of the beast. A good vitals shot is 1/3 up the body from the bottom of the chest straight up the front leg, i.e., directly into the shoulder. The heart sits between the front legs, and the lungs sit right above the heart and sit mostly between the shoulders. I took mine with a 340 Wby & 225 TTSX's. [/QUOTE]
