About The Animal
The Common Reedbuck (Redunca arundinum) is a medium-sized antelope, known for its agility and the distinctive whistling sound made by the males. Inhabiting mainly the wetland areas of South Africa, these antelopes are characterized by their light brown to greyish-brown coat, with a more whitish underbelly. The males, larger than the females, boast forward-curving horns that can reach lengths of up to 45 cm.
These antelopes are primarily nocturnal or crepuscular, feeding on grasses near water sources. They are known for their elusive nature, often hiding in tall reeds, which makes spotting them a challenge. The Common Reedbuck lives in small family groups, and the males are territorial, especially during mating seasons.
Hunting Common Reedbuck in South Africa is a test of patience and skill, as these animals are known for their wariness and preference for dense vegetation near water sources. The hunt typically involves careful stalking and the ability to remain undetected in challenging terrain.
The expertise of Stephanus Jansen van Rensburg’s team is invaluable in such hunts. Their deep understanding of the Reedbuck’s behavior, combined with expert tracking skills, significantly enhances the hunting experience. They ensure ethical hunting practices are followed, respecting the animal and the environment.
