Yes, the Cape grysbok or grysbuck is a small antelope living in the thicker bush of the southern Eastern Cape.
Unfortunately about the only way to bag one is to spotlight it, which is quite legal and the only antelope for which this is condoned. Makes a very pretty mount.

Thanks for that Steve,

I guess the 5 1/8" - 5" Steenbok that I shot in Namibia in 2008 is a toad!

Blazer93,
Look in the Photo Album Section. There is a Grysbok thread.

Any grysbok is a great trophy. If you can take one in daylight you've done something. It took me about 10 year to get the Sharpe's variety found in alot of southern Africa even though I've hunted where they were quite common. I can only imagine the Cape species as being equally as difficult. Good luck!

Cape grysbok. Like Mark said, any grysbok is a real trophy and, in my experience, they are a well earned trophy. Here's a Sharpes Grysbok that I took a few years ago in Zimbabwe

blaser93, so you are one of those record book types, you should be ashamed of yourself! Big Grin
Seriously I am sure you will have a great time, I would go to Natal for the Red. I need my Suni to have the (what I call) tiny 10 of southern Africa. Red, Blue and Grey Duikers, Steenbok, Orbi, Cape and Sharpes Grysboks, Klipspringer Damaraland Dik-Dik abd the elusive Suni. The Sharpes taken in Zim and the Dik-Dik in Namabia.

If you wnt your Suni in RSA it is Natal, but you can get them in Moz., but very expensive if only looking for Suni.
