About The Animal
The Vaal Rhebuck, also known as the Grey Rhebuck (Pelea capreolus), is a slender, medium-sized antelope native to the highlands of South Africa. Distinguished by its woolly, greyish-brown coat, it blends seamlessly into the rocky, mountainous terrain it inhabits. Adult males are recognizable by their straight, sharp horns, which can grow up to 25 cm in length.
These antelopes are predominantly grazers, feeding on grass and leaves, and are known for their exceptional stamina and agility, especially in rugged terrain. The Grey Rhebuck is typically found in small herds, often led by a dominant male. They are elusive and vigilant, with acute senses that make them challenging prey for hunters.
Hunting the Vaal Rhebuck in South Africa is a test of both skill and endurance, as these antelopes are found in high-altitude areas with rough, steep terrain. This hunt demands patience, precision, and an ability to navigate difficult landscapes.
Stephanus Jansen van Rensburg’s team provides invaluable expertise in tracking and stalking these agile animals. Their extensive knowledge of the Vaal Rhebuck’s behavior and habitat, combined with a commitment to ethical hunting practices, ensures a challenging yet rewarding experience for hunters.
