The Grey Rhebuck is also known as the Vaal Rhebuck or Rhebok in Afrikaans. This species is endemic and is South Africa’s most challenging antelope hunt. A medium-sized animal with a grey wool-like coat and long thin neck. They are found in the exposed rocky mountain grasslands at high altitudes which often requires a long shot to bag your trophy. Most popularly hunted in the Eastern Cape but also found in the highlands of the Western Cape and Free State Provinces. More isolated pockets of the species can be hunted in KwaZulu-Natal and the Mpumalanga Drakensberg Mountain range. Usually, these hunts involve walking great distances in cold windy and sometimes snowy conditions, so dress appropriately when hunting in their natural habitat. It’s as if these animals have a sixth sense and no matter if you belly crawl to the edge of a cliff, peep over the edge, they always seem to be anticipating your appearance before taking off over the next ridge. They are often referred to as the “Phantoms of the Mountains”.
