Klipspringer Hunting in Namibia
Klipspringer
Hunting klipspringer in Namibia (Africa)
A klipspringer ram is mature when it is “past prime” – that is the animal we hunt.
Minimum caliber:
.243 (or metric equivalent) / 1,350 joules (approx. 1,000 ft-lbs)
Did you know?
Their hair is hollow to regulate body temperature, and they walk on the tips of their hooves. Hunting them is exciting and challenging: these small antelope are extremely alert and often go unnoticed.
Native to Namibia
Natural range: rocky regions (scattered areas)
- Only rams have well-developed horns
- Rams are territorial and sturdily built
- Ewes are usually slightly larger than rams
- Secondary horn growth (a bulge) in the first centimeters of the horn is a good sign of a very old animal – it pushes the ridged part of the horn up into view
- Wear at the horn tips

- Found in the Kunene, Hardap, Khomas and Otjozondjupa regions
- Perfectly adapted to rocky, desert-like terrain with cliffs, and also at home in bush and savanna
- In the midday heat they like to hide in the shade of rocks
- Independent of water – they get their moisture from plants
- Seen in pairs or small family groups
- The best chance at a mature ram is walk-and-stalk hunting in the early morning or afternoon
