Spotted Hyena Hunt

[DERIAN KOEKEMOER SAFARIS]

Good day AH members.
Wanted to ask this question to get a better understanding from you as a hunter.

In South Africa we are very limited to Spotted Hyena tags and our hunting areas is some if not the best and highly populated Spotted Hyena areas in South Africa ( LOWVELD ).

My question is, is it worth for you as the hunter to come just for a Hyena or do a combo hunt with plainsgame? or combo it with a Dangerous Game hunt?

We always do pre baiting starting of the hunting season on all our areas to determine how many and the ages of the Hyenas that gives as a good idea what is huntable, for this reason we have a 100% success rate.

looking forward to hearing your feedback on this.

If I was going to hunt a spotted hyena in RSA, I’d want it to be part of a package or at least have a reasonable opportunity at other animals. I understand that the permitting process in RSA makes them more expensive to hunt there than in other countries.

After 9 safaris my list is smaller and more specialized. I would come and hunt Hyena on a 5 day hunt or a combo 10 day DG and hyena.

I have a hyena hunt in RSA in August (full moon). I’m pairing it with smaller cats (serval, caracal, genet, civet, badger, etc…). It wouldn’t be worth it to me for a hyena only.
