One of the species available to hunt on Bushmen Safari's 22,000-acre privated deeded land is the Grey Duiker. It is a medium-sized duiker, still much smaller that most of the other antelope species. You can think of him as modified for life in the savanna woodlands. His legs are longer and better developed, while his back is less rounded than the forest duikers. Unlike most of the other duikers, only the male carries horns, which stand fairly upright. The name (duiker) is derived from the Dutch (duik), meaning, “to dive”, descriptive of their low, scooting style of running. The Duiker is mostly a browser, and most active during the late afternoon and early evening. A solitary antelope, he will most often be encountered alone.
