Ahem....

"You got 8 out of 8 correct

You really know your deer"

 

[Stalker62]

Ahem....

It's worse than that.

I have shot a DikDik and I 'know' it is an antelope.

He lives in my 'Man Cave".

Blew it on the DikDik

Ahem! Rather unfortunate choice of words but I think I know what you meant. Unless of course someone knows different……

So not only can I not recognise a DikDik as being an antelope, I also cannot count to eight...

Managed to get 8/8 .......... Seeing the DikDik..... reminded me of the tale of its downfall - wasn't there an amusing/sordid/embarrassing tale to be recounted about said mounted trophy on your man cave wall???? Just can't quite remember the details......

 

[Stalker62]

Just can't quite remember the details...

Christ on the Cross!

This thread just goes from bad to worse.

I have never shot a DikDik in my life.

What I have shot, and what hangs in my 'ManCave' is a Duiker.

Neither DikDik nor Duiker are deer - they are both antelope.

Small, tiny wee antelope, about the size of a Muntjac (which is a fing deer).

@opticron1 you are absolutely right. The tale behind that particular day's hunt was a disaster, and has given me the worst hunting memory of my life.

I cannot bring myself to raise it to the front of my consciousness - suffice to say, I still cannot bring myself to look that antelope in the face and that is (obviously) why I forgot what species of antelope he was...

Forgive an elderly man a 'senior' moment.


For the sake of clarity.

Herewith a Duiker






And finally something that I can highly recommend, that will help you avoid confusing the two...
