About The Animal

The Cape Grysbuck (Raphicerus melanotis) is a small species of antelope native to the Eastern and Southern regions of South Africa. Notable for its reddish-brown coat, speckled with small white spots, the Cape Grysbuck blends seamlessly into its bushveld habitat. This antelope is diminutive in stature, standing only about 54 cm at the shoulder, with males sporting short, sharp horns.

Preferring dense brush and thicket environments, Cape Grysbucks are predominantly nocturnal and are known for their solitary and secretive nature. Their diet mainly consists of leaves, flowers, and fruits, which they forage during the night.

Hunting Cape Grysbuck presents a unique challenge due to their small size, nocturnal habits, and preference for dense cover. These factors make spotting and stalking this antelope a test of a hunter’s skill and patience.

Guidance from Stephanus Jansen van Rensburg’s team is crucial in such hunts. Their expertise in understanding the animal’s behavior and navigating its preferred terrain greatly increases the chances of a successful and ethical hunt.
