About The Animal
The Bontebok (Damaliscus pygargus dorcas) is a striking antelope known for its rich, dark brown coat contrasted with striking white markings. This includes a white rump, belly, face blaze, and lower legs. Males and females are similar in appearance, though males usually have heavier, more prominently ringed horns.
Bonteboks are primarily grazers, found in open grasslands and plains. They were historically hunted to near extinction but have since been conserved through dedicated efforts, now thriving in protected areas and private reserves in South Africa.
2. The Hunting Experience:
Hunting Bontebok involves a blend of careful stalking and precise shooting due to their keen senses and tendency to inhabit open spaces. As a species that has faced conservation challenges, hunting is typically regulated to ensure sustainable population levels.
The guidance of Stephanus Jansen van Rensburg’s team is crucial in these hunts. Their expertise ensures that hunting is conducted ethically, respecting both the animal and its habitat, and in line with conservation principles.
