Living out on the open grassy mountain slopes these animals are quite easy to spot. They have unbelievably good eyesight and a sixth sense. They are often watching you from a long-distance before you have even seen them. The best is to glass the mountain slopes from a high vantage point or sneak to the crest of a hillside and look over the edge. Nine times out of ten they will be looking back at you and you will then need to plan your stalk very carefully to decrease the shooting distance as much as possible. Wind and snow often play a factor in these hunts making the required long-distance shooting quite difficult.

1x1: Eastern Cape Free-range Hunt South Africa
THE RANCH Sits on an escarpment (2200 feet above sea level) and has four unique biospheres within half an hour’s drive. This unique change in biospheres results in huge animal diversity. The landscape and habitats vary from deep wide valley bushveld with thick riverine bush, home of the Eastern Cape Kudu as well as Cape Bushbuck, Nyala, Warthog, and Bush pig. The sides of the valleys/canyons make for great vantage points. A lot of time is spent at theses elevated points glassing for trophies. On the plateau above the valley lies the savanna and scattered woodlands. This is home to species such as Impala, Sable, Zebra, Waterbuck and Mountain Reedbuck. These plateaus also make great vantage points for glassing and the start of many long stalks. The savanna gradually gives way to the long rolling Bedford plains which were once the place of vast animal migrations across the Eastern Cape. These plains are where Springbuck, Blesbok and Black Wildebeest are found and often ambushed from behind the endless anthills which make for good hiding places. These plains give way to the Kaggaberg Mountain range with valleys and box canyons, home to the Eland, Cape Bushbuck and Kudu.
