Baboon Hunting

Baboons are hunted throughout Southern Africa, but requires a CITES permit. Baboons are generally seen as pests in Africa as they are very destructive to lodges and homes. Male baboons can be very aggressive and a have a very loud bark. Diet consist of grass, roots, tubers, fruits, nuts, invertebrates, small birds and mammals, and scorpions.

Species of Baboon

There are five species (Chacma, Gelda, Guinea, Hamadryas and Olive) of Baboons, more or less evenly distributed across Africa. Hunting opportunities exist in just about every country from Burkina Faso and Cameroon to Namibia, Mozambique and South Africa. The two most commonly hunted Baboons are the Chacma Baboon in Southern Africa and the Olive Baboon in East Africa.

Baboon Hunting Techniques

There are several techniques that can be used when hunting baboons. One of the most effective methods is spot and stalk. This involves finding a good vantage point and using binoculars to scan the area for baboons. Once a target is spotted, the hunter can then stalk the animal, taking care to remain out of sight and downwind.

Another effective technique is baiting. This involves setting up a bait station in an area where baboons are known to frequent. The hunter can then wait for the baboon to come to the bait, giving them a clear shot.

It was an amazing steelhead fishing trip! I brought my dad along with me and we slayed the fish. If you guys aren't applying for the OI Draws, you should. They're legit!

My most memorable and rewarding experience.

This was my first guided hunt, and the outfitter was amazing. He was able to keep me motivated and encouraged to hold out for true trophies. I would rate him on an 11 on a scale of 1 to 10! I never thought Africa would be a reality for me. Thank you Outdoors International.
