How to Hunt Tsessebe in South Africa

Tsessebe hunting in South Africa usually involves a "spot and stalk" method. This means finding a group of Tsessebe, watching them for a bit, and then quietly sneaking up to them for a good shot. It's important to be patient and quiet because Tsessebe are super-fast and have sharp senses.

If you're using a bow, the best plan is to wait in a hiding spot near where the Tsessebe usually go for water or food. They come to these spots regularly, so it's easier to get close to them. This usually means waiting about 20 to 30 yards away for the perfect shot with your bow.

When picking a gun for Tsessebe hunting, it's best to go for a medium-powered one like the .308 Winchester or .30-06 Springfield. These guns pack enough punch if you aim well. Another good choice is the 7mm Remington Magnum because it's accurate from far away. No matter which gun you use, make sure to use good bullets that go deep and expand well to make the hunt as quick and painless as possible.

For your gun scope, it's helpful to have one that works well in low light because Tsessebe are most active during sunrise and sunset. A scope with a big lens, like around 40 to 50mm, lets in more light, especially in the early morning or late afternoon. The level of zoom you need depends on where you're hunting. In wide-open areas, a scope with high magnification helps, but in dense bush, a lower magnification works better.

Making sure your shot hits the right spot is super important. A broadside shot, where the animal is sideways to you, gives you the best chance to hit vital organs like the heart and lungs. A quartering-away shot, where the animal is angled away from you, is another good option. It lets your bullet pass through the lungs, leading to a cleaner kill.
