Bushbuck, not Deer

There are no deer in sub-Saharan Africa; the animal in the photo is clearly an antelope, and the third reference in the References section makes clear that the animal being hunted during the festival is actually a bushbuck. Sonitus (talk) 00:44, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the clarification. It was clear that the animal wasn't a "deer", but that's the word most sources use, and I couldn't see a source that used a different name. --Orlady (talk) 03:18, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
