The mountain reedbuck is a medium-sized, graceful and shy antelope. Rams attain a mass of about 65 pounds and measures 29 inches at shoulder. Fur is predominantly grey, but the head and shoulders are a reddish-brown. It has a fluffy white tail and striking white underparts. Forward curved horns are only found on rams. This species has long narrow ears.
Mountain reedbuck are associated with mountainous areas and dry rocky slopes of mountains and hills with sufficient grass and shelter, such as scattered trees and shrubs. They usually avoid open plateaus and peaks.
With a walk, climb, and stalk hunt, a light mountain rifle with a caliber in the .270 range will be very beneficial when hunting mountain reedbuck in Africa. This is mainly due to the fact that a heavy rifle will make for an uncomfortable experience for the hunter when climbing on a mountain reedbuck hunt.
Shot placement when mountain reedbuck hunting must be in the bottom third of the animal directly above the front shoulder.
