Steenbok Hunting in Namibia
Steenbok
Hunting steenbok in Namibia (Africa)
A steenbok 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?
A steenbok flees in zigzags and usually looks back only once – the hunter has to be ready for that moment.
- Only rams have horns
- In a past-prime ram the horns must reach above the ear tips
- Steenbok horns are set wider apart than a duiker’s, with very sharp tips; the horns are smooth and curve slightly forward
- Rams are territorial and mostly solitary, except in the mating season
