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.
