Where to hunt Copper Blesbuck
The copper blesbuck is a striking color variant of the common blesbuck, native to South Africa’s open plains and savannahs. This rare and sought-after trophy has been carefully bred on some game farms, particularly in South Africa's Limpopo, Eastern Cape, and Free State provinces.
Preisverteilung
Copper blesbuck hunts are typically priced slightly higher than common blesbuck hunts, as some hunters value the unique coloration of this variant higher than the default color phase. Generally speaking, a trophy fee for a copper blesbuck is approximately twice as high as for the common blesbuck, and may range between $800 and $2,000. Daily rates are the same as for other plains game hunts.

Hunting the copper blesbuck is typically done using the classic spot-and-stalk method. These animals prefer open grasslands and plains, making long-distance glassing essential for locating a good trophy. Once spotted, hunters must use the available terrain—small hills, termite mounds, or bush cover—to carefully approach within shooting range. Copper color variant is no less alert and adapted to the open plains environment as any other blesbok, and can be quick to detect movement, requiring patience and a steady hand for a successful shot. Shots are often taken at medium to long distances, so preparation and good optics are key to success.
