Охота на Южноафриканского Конгони

Red Hartebeest is a relatively large African antelope. Of the eight subspecies of Hartebeest, the Red Hartebeest is second biggest, has the largest horns, and is darker in color. It can be recognized by peculiar dark muzzle, with a lighter hair line between the eyes. Red Hartebeest live in small bachelor groups or family groups with female and young, which may or may not also include a mature trophy animal, in the south-western part of the African continent. You can hunt Red Hartebeest in Botswana, Namibia and South Africa.

The long, pointed muzzle of the Hartebeest does not just give the antelope an unusual appearance - it provides a number of important evolutionary advantages. It makes it more convenient to graze, especially in long grass and wooded areas: the Hartebeest can pick the most nutritious parts of the plants. Thus, they require less food, and if the plants are juicy enough, are less dependent on water sources, as compared to other antelopes. On the other hand, their eyes are located on top of their heads, which allows them to keep an eye on the environment even while they are grazing. This makes spot-and-stalk, the preferred method of Hartebeest hunting, especially challenging, and the hunter must be prepared for a long shot.
