The ringed-horn antelopes of Africa are a group of hollow-horned mammals, united in a group by their appearance. On average they are larger than a Roe deer. Their horns might be of different shape and length, however all antelopes in this group have numerous distinct rings covering their horns.
“A true conservationist is a man who knows that the world is not given by his fathers, but borrowed from his children.”
J. Audubon
Antelopes are the most numerous game animals of Africa, inhabiting all parts and all kinds of landscapes of the continent: the endless savannahs, forest and swamp areas and even its deserts. They are mainly social animals, communicating with each other through a variety of sounds and scent signals. Antelopes always stay alert, as they are the main prey of the African carnivores. Antelopes are hunted by spot and stalk. As a rule, the hunter together with the hunting team drives around the hunting area in a 4x4 vehicle trying to locate the trophy males. Once the desired species is located, the stalk begins on foot.
