Painted Blesbok - Damaliscus pygargus phillipsi
The painted blesbok is a captivating variation of the common blesbok, truly a masterpiece of nature. Featuring a distinctive white blaze that stretches from forehead to muzzle and a unique color palette of reddish-brown and cream shades, this antelope stands out remarkably from its counterparts. The males typically weigh between 65-80 kg, while females are slightly smaller, weighing between 55-70 kg.
Their rarity and beauty make hunting the painted blesbok a coveted experience for collectors and adventurers seeking something extraordinary.
Hunting the Painted Blesbok
In South Africa's open grasslands and bushveld, we find the perfect habitat for the painted blesbok. Here, where heaven and earth merge in a symphony of colors, unfolds a hunting experience that both challenges and rewards.
Optimal Shot Placement
To ensure an ethical and effective hunt, precise shot placement is crucial. The ideal shot on a painted blesbok targets the heart-lung region, just behind the front leg. This guarantees a quick and humane dispatch, while preserving the quality of the trophy. Our dedicated professional hunters are ready to guide you through the entire process, ensuring you feel confident and secure in your hunt.

Recommended Firearms
For hunting the painted blesbok, we recommend a rifle chambered in .270 Winchester or larger. A .308 Winchester or 30-06 Springfield are excellent choices, as they offer the right balance between precision and stopping power. Remember, quality ammunition is just as important as the rifle itself to ensure a successful hunt.
