Each species within this group presents unique challenges. Klipspringers live on rocky outcrops and stand on the tips of their hooves; hunters must approach from below, glassing cliff faces for a glimpse of their stocky frames. Oribi favour grassy plains near water and are typically taken by spot‑and‑stalk—hunters glass from a distance and then crawl into range. Steenbok inhabit semi‑desert, woodlands and grasslands; they rely on camouflage and will crouch until danger is almost upon them, then leap away in a zig‑zag pattern. Cape and Sharpe’s grysbok are largely nocturnal and hunted by walking and stalking at dawn or dusk or by legal spotlight.

While the specifics differ, hunting the Tiny Ten shares common themes: small calibres, low‑powered bullets to preserve skins, and meticulous shot placement. Hunts are usually opportunistic and take place early in the morning or late in the afternoon when these animals are most active. Many species mate year‑round but have birthing peaks at the start of the rainy season. Because these antelopes have limited distributions and are sensitive to habitat loss, sustainable hunting can help protect their environments. Licence revenues support game scouts, and interest in collecting the Tiny Ten encourages outfitters to maintain healthy populations in their concessions.
