Trophy Hunting the Gemsbock in South Africa

Plains game hunting brings more hunters to Africa each year than all of the Big Five combined. Southern Africa can boast of more species of mammals than any other place on the globe. The abundance of antelope species in Southern Africa and especially South Africa make it an absolute paradise for those hunters inclined to take medium sized game like the Giant Oryx or Gemsbok. The Gemsbok - as he is more commonly called - is a magnificent animal. He inhabits the open country and can survive in the harshest of conditions. A native of the Kalahari, he can go without surface water for months taking moisture from what he eats. A gregarious herd animal, he is primarily a grazer but will occasionally browse if necessary.

The Gemsbock is just one of the many species available to hunt on Bushmen Safaris 22,000-acre ranch in South Africa. For more information, please visit www.bushmensafaris.com.
