Suni Hunting Tips

Permits are limited and need to be booked well in advance. Hunt in the early morning and late afternoon. Move slowly and scan the dense undergrowth, they like to sun themselves on the edge of the forest. Use a solid bullets to minimize damge to the skin. We like to use a 243 caliber with Impala solids.

The cost of hunting a Suni is $7500
