Hunting Sharpes Grysbok

[Moe324]

Where did you hunt them or where do you plan to hunt them. How many trips did it take you to get one? Just starting to research about them. Thanks for the help.

Mozambique and south Africa.

My first trip I took was to MOZ was successful on red diker and Suni but went ) for me and 1 for the grysbok. I hear my PH say he is by that rock at around 75 meters. His angle and mine were a couple feet different and I was using a double rifle so the after action was that the rock in front of hum was the same size as his body. I killed that rock exactly where I was aiming with a nice 400gr 416 solid. However a couple hours later my wife put down her first buffalo. So the hunting gods had a better plan. Did this hunt with Kwalata Safaris They are now hunting in Tanzania. There are several companies here on AH that can help with a MOZ trip.

Fast forward a year and successfully hunted mine with @MATTANJA HUNTING SAFARIS. Highly recommend Dieter's company

The last two animals I needed to finish the Tiny Ten were the Sharpe’s and suni. Both are found in Mozambique, and I got both at the Rosenfels’s Coutada.

The Sharpe’s is usually hunted at night, as mine was. You’d have to be pretty lucky (and perhaps fast as well) to find one during the day. At night, the challenge is to have them hold in the spotlight for long enough for the PH or spotter to say “male” and for you to shoot. Identification isn’t easy, as you likely know, because the horns on the male are pretty small, so anything that isn’t obviously a male is therefore by default a female!

Good luck with your research and hunt - it’s typically a fun hunt, and not an easy one.

I saw several hunting in Dande Zimbabwe. I have very little interest in taking one, but this was a good one. It’s a target of opportunity there, not a dedicated hunt.
