The Ringed Waterbuck is a subspecies of the common waterbuck, distinguished by the white ring encircling its rump, as opposed to the white elliptical patch found on the common waterbuck. They are large antelopes found predominantly in central and West Africa.
The Ringed Waterbuck prefers wetter habitats, often found in areas close to water sources such as rivers, lakes, and marshlands. Their range covers parts of central and West Africa, including countries like Chad, Cameroon, and Nigeria.
Adult Ringed Waterbucks have a reddish-brown to grey coat, long spiral horns (in males), and their most distinctive feature: a white circular ring on their rump.
Their proximity to water sources means navigating challenging terrains. Their keen senses, especially their acute hearing, also make them quite alert to potential threats.
A medium-caliber rifle, in the .270 to .300 range, should be sufficient given the waterbuck's size and build.
Absolutely. While not as popular as some other game meats, waterbuck meat can be quite tasty if prepared correctly, although some believe it has a slightly musky flavor.
They are mainly diurnal animals but can be active during cooler parts of the night. They are often found in herds and are known to be good swimmers, using water as a refuge from predators.
The hunting season may vary based on the country and region. It's essential to familiarize oneself with local regulations and guidelines before embarking on a hunt.
A mature male with long, well-curved horns is considered a prized trophy. The horn length and the overall size and condition of the animal are factors in its trophy value.
