Duiker and Steinbok taken in the Limpopo Province 2012.View attachment 31879[/Q
Taken with a bow as well, way to go Gary. I geuss that you were hunting with Benito Van Leuwan up in Limpopo. Any grey duiker over 5 inches is a trophy of note! As a member of the British bow Hunters myself and having taken the bow to Africa several times I know how elusive these small antelope can be. Once again Great trophies.

Believe it or not hunting and taking some of the smaller species can be harder than the larger ones. Some outfitters/agents sell hunts for the "Mini 7" and taking all of these small antelope is no easy task.
Malc,
I've been considering the Mini 7 ever since I saw an article in a magazine in SA.
Can't remember what they are though.
Grey Duiker, Klipspringer, Steenbock, and then......
Stan
.........Dik-dik, Blue Duiker, Suni & Grysbok?

Yep, forgive the facetious comment Malc, but that would be far more of an achievement than a black, white, copper, pink, yellow and blue springbok!!
Yes you are right there. I have collected Springbok from the northern area of the Kalahari and also from the Cape area. One of the same animal I know but Cape Springbok are somewhat smaller in stature than their northern cousins. I have no interest in paying silly money for a white or black Springy, they are not natural and are only there through selective breeding by man.
