Researching dik dik hunts…

I may be naive, but why not hunt them with a shotgun? I think any gauge shotgun with #9 TSS would be outstanding on these tiny antelope. It’d also be a lot easier to hit them. Am I wrong?

Regarding perfect rifles. Didn’t Connecticut Shotgun make a Model 21 double rifle in .22 magnum? How great would it be to take them with that?! LOL

I actually held a Winchester M21 in 22 LR. It was priced something like $20,000? Been a few years.... may have been more? I remember being shocked;)

There are guys who will hunt them with a shotgun. It’s a common method to hunt the Blue Duikers in the Eastern Cape as well. They’ll run them with dogs and it’s exactly like rabbit hunting. They run a route, often in a big circle.
 
The only problem with the dogs is you don't get a good chance to assess the trophy or gender. It's certainly a successful way to get one.
 
I took mine in Tanzania

An excellent AH member right here! I had a fantastic transaction with Hornedfrogbbq (I was the seller). His communication was first rate, payment was extremely fast, and I would have absolutely no reservations at all dealing with him again. Thank you, F!

Here we are, the last day of the show in Denver, it's been a good show but expecting a quiet day today. I will be back for-sure to do this show next year and maybe also do the one in Sacramento California.

On Monday I will be hitting the road driving from Denver and eventually make it down to Atlanta for the flight home.

its going to be a good year!

Hi Rem280, Saw your post on getting selected for Idaho Elk. Do you have a zone(s) selected? I live in N Idaho, might be able to offer some ideas.

Cheers,

Craig
