WANTED: Nyala Hunting Information

[clint21]

Hello,

I would like to be pointed in the right direction for a Nyala hunt. I know in SA the option of free range is not that available as other parts of Africa so i am open to a high fenced hunt. But the area has to be a large place and a hard good hunt with more than one water point.
And will be a rifle hunt looking at 2018

Is it true that the Natal area holds some of the best Nyala?
Also on this hunt i would like to hunt Bushbuck, bushpig, common reedbuck, baboon, impala, honey badger and a few others if time is available.
Would like to have ten days hunting and maybe a group of four hunters coming. they will be chasing similar animals.

Please fire away with your recommendations on a quality outfitter or get in direct contact with me by PM.

Cheers

I agree with Brickburn, go to the Natal... I've been, and the numbers and quality were just staggering in my eyes. We saw literally hundreds of nyala bulls before even setting up the sticks. I hunted ten days in Natal. I found it the right amount of time to pursue and take a really great Nyala, decent Kudu, Impala (2) and a bush Duiker. The kudu was far from a gimme, and happened on the last day. There are better places for Kudu no doubt. I am by no means an expert, but the area and the hunt lived up to every expectation and hope that I had going in as far as Nyala. We glassed many, many bulls before finding one that really struck my fancy. I wanted to pass up bulls, looking for the fantastic, and that's what we did for 4 days. Keep in mind that I was ok going home without a head if we didn't see what I was looking for (tall, wide bell, nice tip flares). We saw 2 other different bulls of the same caliber in that 4 days and literally hundreds of up and comer's. Brick knows much better than I, but Natal is the place man...

Proof in the pudding. An assortment of Natal Nyala.
(29.5 on down to 25.5, if that matters.)

My favourite is the one with Danny Glover. 28.5 taken at 9 yards after crawling for two hundred yards through the grass. Danny thought I was insane and then he accepted it and started chuckling. He had never seen a hunter crawling through the grass.

You know just as well as I do. Your experience speaks volumes. Spotting Nyala in those hills is an absolute blast.
