Frequently Asked Questions

What distinguishes Cape Lynx hunting from other big cat hunts?

Hunting the Cape Lynx is a specialized pursuit due to the animal's secretive nature and nocturnal habits. The animal's incredible agility, sharp ears, and elusive behavior present a unique challenge that serious hunters find both stimulating and rewarding.

Cape Lynx are primarily found in parts of South Africa and Namibia. Working with Craig Boddington Endorsed Outfitters in these regions ensures access to well-managed hunting areas with healthy Cape Lynx populations.

When should serious hunters plan their Cape Lynx hunt?

While Cape Lynx can be hunted throughout the year, the cooler, dry months from May to September are generally more conducive to successful hunting as vegetation is less dense, and the animals may be more active during the daytime.
