Охота на Роана

Roan refers to the colouring of this antelope which is found across the savannas of West, Central, East and Southern Africa. There are six subspecies of which we will concentrate on the Angolan Roan which for the hunting record purposes has been amalgamated with the Southern Roan, the East African Roan of Tanzania and Western Roan. Southern Roan are the more commonly hunted Roan and have become a feature of many game breeding projects in South Africa and Namibia. They can be hunted in Zambia, South Africa and Namibia.

Due to its habits of avoiding other species it makes for slightly easier hunting as there is less of a chance of being busted during a walk and stalk by other species sharing the same habitat. What does make things tough is the length of the long grass often in flat areas where they prefer to feed. Although great cover for a stalk it can make shooting difficult when trying to find a shooting lane through this tall grass without exposing yourself. In the late afternoon they may be found resting up near water after taking a drink.
