The waterbuck is a dangerous animal when wounded, and in most cases a bit on the aggressive side to start with. As such extreme caution should be used when you go waterbuck hunting in Africa. They are difficult to spot and you should be ready for action before you meet the animal. You will find that the animals are normally close to water sources. Waterbuck hunting can take place in the early mornings when they are quite active or in the afternoons when they lay down under the trees. It should be noted the bulls are very territorial and should not be misjudged at all. The best way to go about waterbuck hunting is to walk through the thick vegetation until a herd is spot. Be patient it will not be long before you see the bull. Their meat however, is not tasty at all and is a bit on the smelly side, but as trophies you don’t get more challenging.
