African Hunts: Targeting Peter’s Duiker

Size and Appearance

Their forequarters are a light brown color blending into a reddish-brown on the rump. The forehead and crest are reddish-brown, with a dark muzzle, and white lips, throat, and chin. The duiker has a dark stripe running down its spine, which widens towards the duiker’s rump.

Hunting Methods

Due to their size and wary nature, duikers are difficult to approach. The best method is the spot-and-stalk technique, used for most duiker species during an African hunt.

Challenges and Rewards

Peter’s Duiker is a fast duiker and successfully targeting and hunting this trophy on a hunting safari is a great achievement. It is a handsome trophy well worth adding to any trophy room.

Rifles and Requirements

When duiker hunting in Africa, it’s very likely going to be at a close range, with a fast-moving target. A .308 or a 30.06 loaded with solids are options to use when targeting Peter’s duiker. While hunters can also use a shot gun, avoid using high calibers as this can damage the trophy.
