Downloads/forms

We have a large population of trophy duikers.  Hunting Duikers can be difficult, as most times you run across good ones when hunting other species. 

Physical description: Color varies geographically (there are as many as 19 subspecies) from chestnut in the Angolan woodlands to grizzled gray in the northern savannas to buff in arid regions. 

Nostrils and nose bridge black; forehead tuft dark.

Forelegs have brown or black fronts. 

Underparts usually white (sometimes tinged with red or gray); underside of tail white. 

Horns in males only 3"-6" long round and less tilted than other duikers

length: 32"-46"

Height: 18"-28"

Weight: 33-60lb (females 2-3lb more)

Habitat: Most habitats with cover adequate for hiding, especially moist savannahs , and including edges of settlements; avoids rain forests.

Breeding: Year round; 1 fawn after gestation variously estimated  at 3 up to 7.5 months

Range: Sub-Saharan Africa

The Common Duiker can go without drinking if its diet includes greens. It eats mostly leaves, herbs, fruit, seeds, and flowers. They appear to live in loosely associated, monogamous pairs. Males behave territorially, smearing gland secretions on stems, branches, and rocks, and depositing dung in middens; their preferred resting places (elevated ground, termite mounds) that overlook their territory. Females choose deeper cover. Active day and night, Common Duikers become more nocturnal near human settlements.
