Bagging the Black Wildebeest with Bushmen Safaris

At first glance, hunting the Black Wildebeest may seem rather easy, as on the open plain where he is often found, he will be relatively easy to locate. However, closing the distance on him may be an entirely different matter; his excellent senses and herd instinct make hunting Black Wildebeest quite a challenge. This member of the antelope family is and ox-like animal with unusual horns, a beard, and hair on his nose. He is dark brown in color with a horse-like tail, which is almost pure white. Hence he is sometimes called the white-tailed Gnu. These strange looking “beests” occur naturally only in South Africa. With both sexes carrying horns, it sometimes takes much patience to distinguish the bulls from the cows. Hunting Black Wildebeest is most likely best during the morning or late afternoon while the herd is grazing. During cool weather, they will graze anytime but when it is warm, they tend to rest during the hottest part of the day.

Hunters enjoy excellent management, competitive pricing, and world-class selection of animals like this Black Wildebeest at Bushmen Safaris wildlife conservancy in South Africa. More information available at www.bushmensafaris.com
