Season very good for trapping black antelope (9)

I believe the answer is:

springbok

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'antelope' is the definition.
(springbok is a kind of antelope)

'season very good for trapping black' is the wordplay.
'season' becomes 'spring' (spring is a season).
'very good for' becomes 'ok' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'trapping' indicates putting letters inside.
'black' becomes 'b' (abbreviation as in pencil hardness).
'spring'+'ok'='springok'
'springok' going around 'b' is 'SPRINGBOK'.

Can you help me to learn more?
