You cruisin' for a bruisin' Blackwell

After the shot connected on the Bushbuck, our hounds-man called to inform us that the hounds were running on a hot trail. We decided to give him some time, and head to the hounds. It was on the neighboring property which extends to 57,000 acres. We drove around, and stopped the truck a couple of...

The eventful Bushbuck ram! After stalking this ram in the morning in some extremely thick stuff where one would catch glimpses of the ram, he finally gave a chance at roughly 180 yards. The sound report back, told us that something was off. After roughly 15 or so minutes, we managed to pick up a...

Best and oldest Buffalo I am currently seeing consistenly, is coming from Mashambanzou Safaris in Moz.

Our last hunting day, we set out for an Impala with a possible Nyala on the list. First thing in the morning, I spotted a group of four Nyala bulls on a slope, feeding at a downward angle. We circled around and left the truck. I had already seen a nice bull in the group, with the other three...

No sir, still 2025 that I'm trying to catch up. Start our season in less than a week. Will start a new thread for that one.

After spending the morning chasing Gemsbuck in the mountains, we changed direction in the afternoon. We had seen an old Black Springbuck ram patrolling his area and decided to see if he had settled. We found him not too far from where we had seen him, but in the middle of a big plain with almost...

Late afternoon we set out looking for a big Stallion. As we crested the hill, we found a herd feeding roughly 60 yards away and in our direction. Sun was in our backs and would be straight into the group of Zebras' eyes, so I felt comfortable in the shadows. We just stood watching the group, but...

Facing Down Fear by John Sharp

Good day sir, I appreciate you considering us for a hunt. I look forward to hearing from you and the opportunity to tell you about our areas and what we represent as an outfit. Take Care, Marius Goosen

Appreciate this immensely. Thank you. @375Fox , @Edge , @greyfox Appreciate your messages.

@Mike D Texas Sir, if you have not committed yet, I would appreciate the opportunity to tell you more about what we have to offer in the Eastern Cape. Please feel free to send me a Private Mail. Take Care, Marius Goosen KMG Hunting Safaris

Welcome to the forum, Mike.

@Charlie64 Any chance you could way in on the discussion we had between Krieghoff and Merkel in Germany?

Both are excellent!

I believe this was a real incident. I also saw alternative footage taken from the boat just behind this one that got capsized. You can clearly hear the individual say in Afrikaans, he's below the boat, before the animal flips the vessel.

Welcome to the forum, @Red_Stag. I have sent you a Private Message for consideration. All the best with your research. Take Care, Marius Goosen

Forget about the inches on the buff, but turn your attention to the age.

Welcome to the forum, @scubasteven25!

Welcome to the forum!

Blue Duiker and Grysbuck wont be a problem with the bow. Klipspringer, depending on your capabilities, could be achievable as well. To hunt a Vaal Rhebuck with the bow in their natural range, as has been said earlier, only 5 has been done in history on foot, and one of them is the brother of my...

Good day sir, On a rifle hunt, I can help you with all of these, but not on a bow hunt. All the best with your research. Best Regards, Marius Goosen

What does ITAR say about temporary importation and if so, how and why are people misinterpreting it?

Personally, I think one would get bored after 2-3 days. Its not unheard of to see the entire big five in a single day, so if that is your goal, go with three days. Only so many million Impala a man can take.

Certainly depends on where you hunt. The two experiences could be as far apart a 0 is to 100.

In South Africa? Where a criminal record is a prerequisite to get into government?

For plains game, I'm using the 10x42 Leica Geovids. For dangerous game, I use the 8x30 Swarovski SLC's. Nice and compact and easy to swing them around my back when expecting a confrontation.

Those are the OG's.

Superb! Very excited. Pulled the trigger(excuse the pun) this morning.

Nope. Thought it would be good for those pesky pigs over hounds...

Yes, I recall this. Great shout !

I appreciate your reply! You are certainly steering me in the wrong direction :)

Thanks. Currently still with old owner, so guess can look at all of this if I decide to go with it. Seriously thinking about it though.

Thought I was done, but then I found this... Any comments?

Can't speak for others but its because we hunt self sustainable animals in their natural habitat, sir. Not going to shoot a Bushbuck or Blue Duiker next to a Lechwe. I don't think that there is an area in the whole of Africa as diverse as the Eastern Cape. We are home to 6 out of the 8 possible...

Certainly not. They dont just sit there like a Mtn Lion.

Did not really mean it in that manner. As we say, there are not many things that surprise us. Some things just surprises us more than others. I meant it more in the sense of when someone pulls out an extraordinary shot where we can see the time on the range paying off, possibly at a once in a...

I like it and video was well constructed. Can't tell you how much we as Professional Hunters enjoy seeing someone coming that has prepared and put the time in on the range.

Won't be exhibiting at DSC this year. Took the hiatus year for 2026, so have to be back in 2027 in order to keep our booth. Hopefully they can steer the ship around by then.

This is the big question. Does TTHA have first right of refusal for 2030 or does DSC hold that card?

Good day sir, I can assist you for sure. You can keep your flights exactly like they are. I have sent you a Personal Mail. Looking forward to hearing from you, Take Care, Marius Goosen

Had a fantastic day yesterday! Very pleased to be back here.

Looking forward to it! What a great day for Day 1 !!!

Good morning sir, Unfortunately we wont be attending the SCI show in Nashville. Currently in Montana until Monday evening, before departing for Dallas. Applied for a booth in Nashville but was unsuccessful this year. If we can assist in any way, please let me know. Take Care, Marius

While looking for a Gemsbuck, we stopped the vehicle while descending the mountain in order to scan the flats below. We found a big bull standing all by himself busy having his afternoon feed. He was probably close to a mile at this stage, and with the evening being wind still, we decided to...

Forgot about that! Hahahaha

We headed to a new area which we had not hunted before, especially for Hartebeest. On this day, our eyes were opened and lessons were learnt. Wide open spaces, these herds knew exactly which distance to keep between them and us. We eventually found part of a herd below a rocky outcrop and...

Good day sir, The method of hunting is still walk/spot and stalk, and the terrain would allow for long range hunting. Saying this, the landscape certainly allows us to get much closer to more traditional range shots. It is really big country, and possible to see animals from a mile away. Big...

Looking forward to meeting you sir!
