Springbok are great fun to hunt but the shots are usually rather long, two hundred yards or more on the average. They can be found in quanity in the Kgalagadi in northern South Africa. You may want to contact DK Safaris which is owned by the De Klerk family. If all goes well we are planning on going back there in 2007 they are great people and incredable acomidations and food are the order of the day.
I hunted Bush pig in Limpopo provence at a concession in the Waterburgs however things did not go well so no pigs were taken. We looked for them during the day as well as other critters. Early morning or late evening is the best part of the day to find these guys. Your best chance for a bush pig is to go out at night which is probably how most are taken.
This picture is of my Springbok taken in 2004 at De Klerks. The hair on their back raises up after they die for a few seconds to a minuit or so then lays flat again this is called a "pronk" One other intresting tid bit of information about them is that during the mateing season a male spring bok does not have a musky smell, believe it or not they smell like carmel candy.

It is the small calibers that are the biggest bores.
