When we did make it to the ranch a few hours later that day, Brandon wanted to bow hunt. The two problems were the 12 yard range he can shoot accurately with enough power and the fact that he was still wearing that orange shirt. We decided we would set some parameters. We would allow 3 hours, the shot must come at 12 yards or less, the animal had to be small enough for the bow's power to be effective and it had to be undisturbed and broadside. Our first animal in range was a waterbuk, much too big for this bow. Then we got within 10 yards of a fallow buck but it was facing us until it finally figure out we were there and ran. We snuck up on a white spot thinking it could be a fallow or maybe a blackbuck or white sika deer. Nope, oryx at 12 yards - can't shoot them (too big for bow anyway). We began a sneak on some axis does that were bedded. About half way there Brandon looks to our right and comes to full draw. I wondered what was going on and as the arrow flew my eyes followed it ... to an Ibex that was 10 yards away broadside. A good hit in the lungs sent the goat running about 20 yards where he toppled over - dead. It was a small Ibex that I wouldn't have allowed a client to shoot but I guess under the circumstances it fit our criteria and Brandon did it himself, so to him it is a trophy.
Boy I bet that buff is going to be juicy and tasty! 
Holy Cow (no pun intended) -- they must be a very dense animal, or maybe it is the angle of the shot - i would never guess they weighed that much by seeing the pic of the buff next to your boy
