Blackbuck (animal)

Blackbucks are a form of antelope commonly found throughout southern Kashirya. It gained its name from the distinctive dark-colored coat of the blackbuck's upperhalf. They are one of the most popular fauna for hunting in southern Kashirya due to their abundant population, and lack of serious threat.

We've spent most of the day on the tail of a blackbuck alone from its herd. The arduous trek has nearly paid off. After crawling under a thicket of sharp thorns, I find the blackbuck on its hind legs, eating from the dangling limb of a tree. It has not noticed my approach, giving me time to ready my long range weapon. I am quite a distance away, so if this shot misses I'm not sure I'll be able to catch it like this again, but the element of surprise is on my side.
