About The Animal
The Saddleback Blesbuck is a color variant of the common Blesbuck (Damaliscus pygargus phillipsi), characterized by a distinctive saddle-like marking on its back, which contrasts with its otherwise reddish-brown coat. This unique feature adds to the allure of the Saddleback Blesbuck as a hunting trophy. Like the common Blesbuck, males and females are similar in appearance, though males typically have thicker, more robust horns.
These antelopes are primarily grazers and are found in open grasslands and plains. Blesbucks are known for their stamina and speed, often forming herds that are vigilant and quick to react to potential threats.
Hunting the Saddleback Blesbuck in South Africa is an engaging experience, offering hunters the opportunity to pursue a unique trophy. Due to their alert nature and preference for open terrain, these antelopes require strategic stalking, careful positioning, and accurate shooting.
Stephanus Jansen van Rensburg’s team provides expert guidance, enhancing the hunting experience with their knowledge of Blesbuck behavior and the best tactics for a successful and ethical hunt.
