Hunting Hyena - How many have hunted one?

Hi,
I am heading over to South Africa in August tagging along on a 14 day Cape Buffalo hunt with my Dad and family. The number one animal I am wanting to hunt while I'm there is a Hyena, Brown or spotted or both. I really wanted to hunt a Brown Hyena on my last trip to South Africa but didn't get a permit in time. This time we are hunting near the Kruger National Park. Just wondering who has hunted in areas close to the Kruger National Park, are there many of either species of Hyena there and do they have their winter coats in August still or are they starting to thin out then? Any Advice would be much appreciated.

Welcome to AH, Richelle, and good luck with your hyena. I´m also trying for one in the Limpopo next September.

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.

Hello:
I’ll take the .375 Whitworth for $1,150 if the deal falls through.
Thanks .
