Copper Blesbok

The Copper Blesbok live on the open plains of the South African savannah. Copper Blesbok are primarily grass-eaters. When you see a small herd of Copper Blesboks, it is typically females and cubs. Old males are often seen alone. With both sexes bearing horns, one must listen carefully to the professional hunter who will point out a large old male to shoot.

The Blesbok was once a near-extinct antelope, but today has been restored and can be found in large numbers throughout South Africa. Side By Side Safaris offers a large hunting area where there is a stock of Copper Blesbok, with a trophy quality in top class. Riffle calibres, as a .270 or .300 Magnum with quality projectiles, will be an excellent choice for this wild species, as shot distances of 200 meters might occur.
