General
 

Red Duiker are found in thick bush and a often overlooked as a result of their good camouflage. Both males and females carry horns which can make sexing them quite difficult, although the ram usually has thicker horns. As a result of the habitat that they frequent and their secretive habits, they can be quite a challenge to hunt.
