Bharal76Vaal Rhebok
Hi all -
Will be in RSA sometime during the next months and would like to explore the alternative of hunting a good vaal rhebok. Any recommendation on the area/outfitter for a nice trophy, I would only have a couple of hunting days, probably.
Many thanks!

SvinejaktI have seen many pictures of Marius Goosen of KMG safaries with Vaal Rhebok. He`s on this forum. Hunted with him twice, very good both times

SvinejaktNo problem, been thinking about one myself actually. But Bushbuck will be 1st priority next time

BaluleVaal Rhebok is usually an exciting hunt in beautiful country. They are very wary with an expansive flight distance. I got the easy shot at 365 yards, my wife got the 635 yard shot.
KMG Safaris with Marius is a good outfit operating in the right part of the country for Vaalies.

Where will you be ? Jhb or CT ?
Adrian Salter near Mooi River got me a 9 1/2 inch vaalie. He has a super concession near Giants Castle. Plus bushpig.
Send me a PM and I'll get you his details if you want.
Cheers

Vaal shot on my bucket list hunt with Charl of Infinito Safaris. He'll also be able to put you on to a good Vaalie.

georgeldThose look like real killers, better make sure and take at least a .416, .458 or bigger might be even better.

Use Enough GunI can never get enough of pics of Vaalie hunting! I've only been once, but I could see it becoming very addictive!

fairgameSort of hunting I would be very interested in. Beautiful hill country stalking a difficult and wary animal.
A spectacular antelope in its own right.

Was a memorable hunt near Giants Castle up high in some spectacular scenery. Saw lots of vaalie before taking this one.

KMG Hunting SafarisCongratulations Charlie! That looks like a ripper. Looks to be about 9" ?

505 gibbsFirst, congratulations to the hunter on a beautiful trophy and mount. Not to stir the pot and perhaps it is just the angle of the pic (trophy or mount) but the trophy pic appears to be an animal with a fairly strong difference in length between the horns (left is shorter) and I am not seeing the same anomaly in the mount?

KMG Hunting SafarisCharlie,
I was very fortunate to shoot a 9" Vaalie myself, many, many years ago, as a youngster. I did not even realise what I had shot, until years later, but quite lucky that I had him mounted at the time.
They are awesome animals which requires a lot of skill and a bit of luck.

L. David KeithOne of the cheapest "sheep" hunts you can take. One of my guys missed a huge ram last July and a few weeks later another client took him. Just over 10 inches. My itinerary includes another Vaalie hunt next month. They are addictive if you love mountain hunting.
