When to hunt Cape Bushbuck?
Bushbuck may be hunted year round In South Africa. The best months for hunting Bushbuck in South Africa are the dry months of June to October, the reason being that these animals are a very water dependent species and the vegetation is not so dense. If hunted in winter, the best place to glass is below rocky outcrops in canyons and valleys. You find them sunning themselves out of the wind in the early morning sunshine. In the evenings they can be found near water and often come out at last light to start browsing in the open patches of bush.

Traditionally, Cape Bushbuck were hunted with beaters driving the animals towards the hunters shooting from vantage points. These driven hunts were very popular gatherings and strangely enough it was frowned upon to shoot the lighter (brown) coloured females. Today the walk and stalk method is used to hunt these animals who are extremely elusive and cunning, often just freezing in the dark shadows and letting a hunter pass them by. They are attracted to green cultivated fields in winter and will wander out into the open in the late afternoon. The alarm call of a Bushbuck is a dog-like bark which may give it away before it takes off, flashing its white tail and barking repeatedly as it takes fright and runs for cover. Bow hunting is best from a blind or ambushed over water as this is a water dependent species that must drink regularly.
