An Introduction to Hunting Springbucks
Springbucks are graceful antelopes known for their striking appearance and remarkable agility. Males and females both have horns. Males typically weigh between 66 to 88 pounds (30 to 40 kilograms), while females are slightly smaller.
Their unique gait, known as “pronking,” is an incredible thing to see: they leap up to 13 feet (4 meters) in the air! This signature move is how they got their name (“spring” means jump in Afrikaans) and the excitement they bring to every hunt.
Rifle Hunting
For those interested in hunting Springbucks with rifles, bring rifles that range from .243 to .270 caliber. Our experienced hunting professionals will be with you to ensure your hunting trip is both challenging, successful, and safe.
Shot Placement and Technique when hunting Springbucks
Precision is key when it comes to hunting Springbucks. Aiming for the heart or lung region usually ensures a humane kill. Hunters are often advised to go for a broadside shot, aiming just behind the shoulder to hit vital organs.
Bow Hunting
Bow hunting provides a unique and stealthier approach to hunting Springbucks. Huntershill Safaris offers world-class archery facilities for those who prefer a more traditional and up-close experience.
Equipment and Technique
Quality compound or crossbows, preferably with a draw weight of at least 50 pounds, are essential for Springbuck hunting. Hunters must be skilled and patient, stalking closely enough to get within 20 to 40 yards of the target.
Terrain and Climate
The Eastern Cape region, home to Huntershill Safaris, is characterized by rugged hills and dense vegetation. The climate in this region can vary, with warm, dry winters and hot, wet summers.
