This hunt report relates to my recently completed hunt in Uganda with KOS Safaris. Health warning: I do go on, so put away the Ambien and settle in.

This presented a problem since, according to Carten-Barber (2017), “[t]here are few, if any, species that have created as much controversy, at the subspecies level, as the Bushbuck.
