Hunting Grant’s gazelle requires patience and a long‑range rifle. Because these gazelles inhabit open plains and avoid tall grass, hunters must glass from afar and plan careful spot‑and‑stalk approache. Long shots over 400 yards are common, though some hunters wear traditional Maasai clothing to break up their outline and get closer. In Tanzania, a 7 mm calibre is the minimum legal rifle for tourist hunters, and shots are usually taken early morning or late afternoon when gazelles are feeding or travelling to water.

Grant’s gazelles are not yet threatened but face pressure from habitat conversion to agriculture and ranching. The African Wildlife Foundation notes that only about 25 % of the population is stable or increasing; continued declines could soon qualify the species as near threatened. Safari hunting in Tanzania operates under quotas and licences managed by the Tanzania Wildlife Management Authority; hunts support anti‑poaching and habitat protection, helping to offset losses from illegal meat hunting. Outside Tanzania, photographic tourism and national parks offer other incentives to conserve the species. Sustainable hunting thus complements broader conservation strategies by providing funds and local employment while ensuring offtake remains within safe limits.
