Waterbuck do have preferred areas and are geographically more predictable than many other species, but they are not easier to approach than other antelopes.

Actually, in some areas they spot hunters before most other species, and are at times a darn nuisance because tney alert other game.

As for the meat, it is quite coarse compared to hartebeest or eland, but its bad reputation stems from the oil on its fur (which is actually more "quill" than hair, I've been told by people who checked it under a microscope). That oil has a pungent odor, so strong that you can easily smell a waterbuck's passage for quite some time after it has gone. If the skinner does not know how to skin that particular animal, taking great care to not allow contact between meat and outer skin, then the whole carcass takes that smell and taste.

But if it is skinned as it should, and prepared by a good cook, there is nothing wrong with it.
