Welcome to the world of Spiral Horn Hunting with Likhulu Safaris! Known for their elusive nature and impressive trophy size, bushbucks are a prized game species that inhabit dense forests and thick brush throughout sub-Saharan Africa.
 

How to Hunt Bushbuck

Rifle Hunting: Rifle hunting is a popular method for pursuing bushbuck due to its effectiveness over longer distances. Hunters typically use a rifle with a caliber suitable for medium-sized game, such as a .30-06 or .308. Patience and stealth are crucial when rifle hunting bushbuck, as they are known for their keen senses and ability to disappear into thick vegetation at the slightest disturbance. Spot-and-stalk tactics are often employed, with hunters scanning the surrounding terrain for signs of movement or the telltale flash of a bushbuck's coat.

Bow Hunting: Bow hunting for bushbuck adds an extra challenge to the hunt. Hunters need to get close to their target without being noticed, often using natural cover and careful positioning. Stalking within the bow range of a bushbuck requires careful attention to detail, including wind direction and noise discipline. Hunters must wait for the perfect shot opportunity, remaining motionless for extended periods.
 

Why Hunt Bushbuck

Hunting bushbuck not only provides an exhilarating challenge for hunters but also plays a crucial role in conservation efforts and the sustainable management of wildlife populations. By participating in ethical and regulated hunting practices, hunters contribute to the preservation of natural habitats and support local communities that rely on wildlife for their livelihoods. Additionally, hunting bushbuck allows for the selective harvesting of mature males, which can help improve the overall health and genetics of the population.
