About This Hunt
DESCRIPTION OF HUNT
This hunt starts early in the morning, after a nice breakfast and some coffee and juice.
Nyala is the main animal in this package, they are usually shot early in the morning or later in the evenings just before sunset. That is when they are the most active. The diet for Nyala's consist of 80% bush and 20% grass. Most of our hunting will take place in areas with dense bush where they feed. Shots are usually taken at close range as Nyala prefer to blend in rather than run away. Very similar to Whitetail deer.
The Eland is one of the favorites plains game species to hunt, they can travel great distances and usually move in big herds making it hard to get close.
Big bulls can weigh up to a ton and when mature they have a dark tufted hair in front of their foreheads.
Most hunts are characterized by doing long stalks and heavy lifting. This would be a second addition to your spiral horned collection. This package will be a great challenge for any hunter and worth every dollar!
