About The Animal

The Common Grey Duiker (Sylvicapra grimmia), often simply referred to as the Grey Duiker, is a small species of antelope found throughout sub-Saharan Africa. This species is characterized by its greyish-brown coat, with a distinctive white belly and a prominent preorbital gland near the eyes. The males have short, straight horns which can reach lengths of about 10-15 cm.

Grey Duikers are adaptable animals, inhabiting a range of environments from savannah to woodland and forest edges. They are predominantly browsers, feeding on leaves, fruits, and occasionally small insects or animals. Known for their skittish and elusive nature, Grey Duikers are solitary creatures, often making them a challenging hunt.

Hunting the Common Grey Duiker in South Africa is a test of patience and stealth. Due to their small size and wary nature, these antelopes require hunters to employ careful stalking and precise shooting. The hunt often involves tracking through dense vegetation and being alert to the slightest movement.

The expertise of Stephanus Jansen van Rensburg’s team is invaluable during such hunts. Their knowledge of the Duiker’s behavior, coupled with experienced tracking skills, enhances the chances of a successful and ethical hunt.
