Blesbuck hunting in Namibia

Blesbuck or should we correct that spelling to 'Blesbok', is a South African endemic species have been successfully introduced to Namibia where it can now be hunted on the many game ranches scattered country wide. Blesbuck is named after a name derived from the Afrikaans (Dutch) language and refers to the white blaze on its muzzle commonly associated with horses. These animals may occur in large herds and both the male and female have horns making it difficult for the less experienced hunters to identify the animal's sex. The male's horns are thicker than the females. Blesbuck although once on the brink of extinction in South Africa is now classified by the IUCN as a species of least concern.
