Chobe Bushbuck Hunting in Zimbabwe
Small, shy and beautifully marked, the Chobe bushbuck lives in the thickest riverine bush. A good ram is hard-won: you'll see him for a second at the edge of the thicket, early or late in the day.
The hunt
How We Hunt Bushbuck
Riverine Thickets
We walk slowly along rivers and drainage lines at first and last light, or wait quietly where a ram comes out of cover to feed.
Handle With Care
For its size, a wounded bushbuck ram has a reputation for being surprisingly aggressive. Follow your PH's lead when approaching a downed animal.
Details
Calibre, Season and Area
Shots come quickly at close range in cover; a rifle you can handle fast, in the .270 to .300 class, works well.
