White blesbok are identical to common blesbok in all aspects other than color. Their off-white coat is as a result of a gene mutation. Common and white blesbok are often seen mixed into the same herd. Their habits are identical.
Hunting white blesbok in South Africa requires patience and good walk and stalk skills. Look for blesbok rams on the periphery of the herd, they frequently patrol the fringes of their territory, feuding with younger blesbok rams.
The cost of a white blesbok hunt is $850 for a trophy white blesbok.
