Well, we hunt quite a bit of low fenced areas, and we still practise the same management strategy. I can tell you that the land owners certainly appreciate it, as do our hunters. Even on free range areas like the ones that we hunt, there are still home ranges of animals. Just because they have...

This is certainly something that we pride ourselves in. I'm not saying that every single animal we are taking are in its last Winter. This is certainly not the case, because that is simply unrealistic, but we are actively focusing on leaving animals of better genes that are still immature and...

Since 2019, we moved over to focussing more on age than score only. My PH's know, even if something will enter in the top 5, if its still young, don't come back with it. To answer your question regarding judging of game, that will only come from experience, looking over countless and...

Yes, in the Kruger area and what you describe as a "game farm"

Funny, because we just hunted Buffalo among Lions in RSA.

Would be a shame to travel with that beautiful case with how airlines treat them....

As has been mentioned, more to it than just distance. No two hunts are the same.

Not in Texas, but would highly recommend looking into Kanati Taxidermy. They are in Pennsylvania though. They are unbelievable on Leopard. All the best with your hunt!

African Sun Productions - Owner is Martin Muller. Look up their Youtube Page.

Not many better experiences than hunting Vaalies in those mountains.

Good day sir, We can assist with your request. We have access to some massive tracts of land for those species. The Eastern Cape sounds like exactly what you are looking for with the mountainous terrain. Would love for you to consider us. All the best with your research. Take Care, Marius Goosen

Yes sir, Can assist you. Have a package which includes 5x Black Wildebeest cows and 5 Blesbuck ewes in some beautiful country. You can find the link here: https://www.africahunting.com/threads/2024-cull-hunt-packages-kmg-hunting-safaris.78802/ Take Care, Marius Goosen

Classical Kudu shape on this bull. By this time, Winter had already set in as can be seen by the drier vegetation around the hunter and quarry. No one can dispute the effects of the rut. The rut has the same effect world over with males, but another factor that cannot be ignored in the Eastern...

Simply a magnificent Bushbuck ram. I always say, extraordinary shots yield extraordinary animals. Sometimes for reasons out of our control, its worth taking a chance at an exceptional animal. Under the correct conditions and with the correct equipment, these chances pay off more often than not...

Terrain from some of our hunting areas:

Wishing you only the best Charlie!

The pattern of the camo isn't as important as using the shadows.

One of the biggest appreciations we as Professional Hunters' have is guiding people who have put in the time on the range and displaying exceptional marksmanship in the field under pressured conditions.

I'll put a different spin on the OP's question. You stalk onto a target animal, wait for a good shot and things don't go as planned. Animal gets wounded. Only way to get a sure opportunity is by truck. Do you risk losing the animal in the name of ethics, or are willing to put it out of its...

I'm sure its the scent of the Bobcat. They have to be alert to that scent every day of their lives, so once they get that wiff they probably just on alert. Had a similar scenario where we were hunting Blue Duiker and a Caracal came to the Water hole. As you would have it, Caracal was on the...

Im trying to understand your point? Are defending the mismanagement of resources, corruption and economic policies due to their inexperience or what are you trying to say?

Still one of my favourite hunts. Hunting Blue Duiker in the undergrowth of coastal belt is as fun as it gets. Lovely ram here for our hunter.

What's the reason for wanting to swap it out? I run the NX8 2.5-20x50 on my 300Win.

I believe this is the correct answer:giggle:

If a Bushbuck ram isn't on your list, and you run into a beautiful old ram like this one, what's your move?

The "What now" was a rhetorical question. Respectfully sir, I don't think that you have an idea how Africa works. We also have a saying. Our locals will slaughter a cow to eat meat for a week, rather than keep the cow to have milk for a life time. All the best to you,

Ok, so they have had 30 years to "learn." What now?

Exactly what this forum is for, sir. Always happy to help. Sure Dave will chip in after his coffee.. :)

@AZDAVE Any chance you could offer some advice here?

Forget about racism and everything else you are writing about. All politics is dirty and no one more than the Apartheid government. The fact stand that RSA was a first world country under that regime, had a stronger currency than the USA, and a top military. Those are facts, not speculation. A...

So how would you explain South Africa going from being a first world country under the previous regime where the Rand was stronger than the USD and having one of the top 3 militaries in the world, to its current status?

Nailed it.

An excellent Eland bull. Took two days to find a proper Eland here. Amazing how animals of this size can disappear for days, only to show up in a spot where you checked the previous day. Better to be lucky than good.

Always said, the day I stop learning, is the day I hang up my hunting boots. This is the first time in my life that I found Warthogs sleeping in caves around 100 ft from the bottom. Although not a sheer cliff, in order to get to these caves, there is one way in and one way out. Only by one...

Appreciate the vote of confidence Dave! Thank you so much my friend.

Welcome to the forums sir! Glad to have you here.

Good day sir, Welcome to the forum. We are situated in the Eastern Cape. We will be able to assist with your request. I have sent you a Private Mail here on the forum. All the best, Marius Goosen

Appreciate it Charles! Thank you.

Airport to fly into would be East London. Its a long way over only for 5 days. Would probably say 7 days as a minimum.

Impala were both over 24" and the Bushbuck ram I recall was 16".

Dear AH members, We have just received notification of a cancellation hunt in our calendar for 2024. We have a bit of flexibility on the exact dates. Safari can be any length of time but needs to be conducted between 22-28 September 2024. I have pre-booked and paid 2x Impala and 2x Cape Bushbuck...

Cody, Are you looking for one that is already in the USA? Sure I can find you one in good time. We have the odd one of them around our area here;) Sure that we can find a way to get it to you if you were interested.

Kudu Friday! What an absolute tank of a bull. Notice the ivory up the frontside of the right horn. Our hunter needed most of his 10 day hunt to find this great Cape Kudu. The look on his face says it all!

Exhibited at the show for 7 years and never got back there after the Covid ordeal in 2020. We were very lucky to have our own group of anti hunters yearly, naming us by name to try and get us deported. I felt honored. They were always cordoned off in the parking lot, and there was always a warm...

Adding mercury balanced my rifles since most of the weight sits in the barrel.

Have you considered a mercury tube?

I wonder what he looks like this year:

I shoot the 570gr Swift A Frames out of my 500 N.E. I don't think that you will go wrong with the NF, but will also say this. I can't make a distinction in effectiveness between the Swift A Frames and Rhino Solid Shanks. Actually quite proud for something of that quality to be coming out of...
