blaser93Help with this antelope
My Ph the other day said that I should take an animal called Grice bok or grays buck I did'nt understand what it was . Said it was from South Africa lower part easten Cape I believe.

KarooYes, 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!

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!

Use Enough GunCape 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

Die Ou Jagterblaser93, so you are one of those record book types, you should be ashamed of yourself!
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.

I could enter them but I just don't.
I also was looking into suni and Orbi

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