Hunting methods
Soemmerring's Gazelle have adapted well to the arid savanna. In some countries, regional migrations have been recorded during the dry season when these animals are in search of suitable grazing. They forage in fairly open areas which sometimes makes for a difficult stalk. For the most part, they are hunted spot and stalk style from a vehicle. Once spotted your professional hunter will plan a stalk to get within shooting distance.

When hunters travel to these remote hunting areas it is normally with the intention of collecting the many rare species found in these regions.
