Query Species
Blue wildebeest are native to eastern and southern Africa, including countries such as South Africa, Tanzania, and Zambia. They prefer open grasslands and savannas, but can also be found in woodlands and bushveld habitats.
Male blue wildebeest can weigh up to 600 pounds and stand up to 4.5 feet tall at the shoulder, while females are typically smaller, weighing around 400 pounds and standing 4 feet tall at the shoulder.
Blue wildebeest have a grayish-blue coat with dark stripes along their sides and back legs. They also have a shaggy mane of black hair that extends from their neck to their shoulders.
When hunting blue wildebeest, it is recommended to use a large caliber rifle, such as a .30-06 or .300 Win Mag. Hunters should also bring binoculars, a rangefinder, and a sturdy hunting pack.
To track and locate blue wildebeest, hunters should look for fresh tracks and droppings, as well as areas with a high concentration of grazing activity. Glassing large open areas with binoculars can also be an effective way to locate herds.
When hunting blue wildebeest, the ideal shot placement is through the heart and lungs, just behind the shoulder. This will ensure a quick, clean kill and minimize suffering.
