I am considering trying for a Vaal Rhebok on my trip to South Africa. I have heard that they are a very tough animal to hunt. I am interested in hearing some stories on hunting them

Just like Marius said I depends on the outfitter more than anything in most hunts. I can tell you he had me on one within the first hour of looking for them with a easy shot. We waited hunted a bit more and got a very nice one day 2Who are you hunting with? That will be a big factor. What is there success on previous hunts? What type of quality do they deliver on their Vaal Rhebuck hunts?
These are big questions that need answering before taking on the notorious Vaalie.

Depends where you hunt them.
I have hunted the with rifle and bow. I have taken three, two Rowland Ward. The third I did not measure.
Spot and Stalk is a great challenge.
It is a cross between Antelope and Bighorn Sheep hunting.

View attachment 199994 If you have interest in them I would defiantly discuss going after one. Mine is still fresh in the salt and just getting over the plane trip back as I type
View attachment 199973 They are a tough hunt and live in rough country. I got mine with Leopards Valley Safaris in July. It was cold!!!! They are very cool animists and have rabbit like fur.
Marius with KMG and yes it is a very nice vaalieLooks like a very nice Vaal Rhebok Uintaelkhunter. Who were you hunting with? Did you measure his length? They are also on my wish list. Someday.... Bruce
We hiked many miles this one we actually spotted then drove around the mountain and hiked over the top to come down in on them at a bit over 300 yards with the wind howlingNice Vaal Rhebok!! How high up did you have to go to get him?
