I have hunted in three African countries and have seen many Giraffe and two shot. I did not think they were hard to hunt at all as you can get up close and personal without any problem. The two I saw shot were both shot with 30.06 - one with one shot the other 3 shots.

Amazing Giraffe by: Carol Sligting
The story and picture of the giraffe is just amazing and makes me want to go and see the animals that are in Africa. I have never eaten giraffe meat and would like to try it.

I'm glad the author mentioned they are trying to preserve this animal. Interesting notes on the toughness of a giraffe.

Not all that rare by: Stephan(author0
Pat The Giraffe is not all that rare in Namibia. The Namibian Constitution mandates Conservation areas in each locality. There are more game animals in Namibia now than in 1960. Hunting ensures healthy and genetically balanced herds. There are more Giraffes in Namibia than ever before. Namibia is a hunters and wildlife lovers Paradise. Stephan(author)
