Thanks for posting James! Karen and I just returned from Ethiopia. For many years, the mountain nyala has been a "bucket list" hunt. We were fortunate to take this beautiful bull while hunting at 9,000 feet in the highland forest of central Ethiopia. The only other huntable game was the Menelik's bushbuck, another magnificent spiral-horned antelope. I was using an H-S Precision 270 WSM and took the mountain nyala at 310 yards. It was a life-long dream and great experience.
