This bull really had everything! Mass, mop, neck and length. I have heard shooting an Eland in the wrong spot has made people retire. When you love what you do, its all part of the adventure!

Mark, I first handled a double where the red dot was mounted forward on an Elephant hunt in the Caprivi, last year. Rifle was a Verney Carron in 500N.E. I only carry a Merkel, and thought if they would do it to a Verney, I would be fine...LOL. Had a discussion a couple of weeks ago, and was told...

Mark, love the setup. Personally, I would just have liked it to sit a little bit lower, so interested to hear how she picks up for you. Just seems like you would need to search for it a bit once shouldering the rifle. Had them mill into the ribbing on mine, and mounted the red dot almost flush...

Proper Nyala bull hunted on foot. When he doesn't want to come closer to the man-made blind, slip out and stalk him to 33 yards. The G5 Megameat broadheads are some serious equipment.

Ladies getting in on the action!

The Blue Duiker is one of my favourite animals to hunt. Setting up for these incredible animals in the coastal undergrowth has its excitement in its own way. This specific hunt just showed the commitment from our Professional Hunter once again, getting up at 03:00 in the morning in order to be...

Appreciate your comment, sir. Thank you.

A superb Lechwe in absolutely breathtaking country. Passionate about the outdoors!

Agree 1000%. Certainly changes the dynamics of the 375. Currently shoot the 340gr Rhinos in my 375 used by clients. Not sure if the 380's will stabilize. Appreciate your reply.

Doc, you don't think that the lost Buffalo was due to the bullet's failure to penetrate deep enough? Obviously back then, we didn't have the incredible choices of bullets we have today. In all honesty and hypothetically, I would probably rather have a hunter shoot a solid, than a partition which...

Just love the contrast in the face, big ears, the brown mixed with the black and white in a Roan. They are such striking animals and certainly one of my personal favorites. Personally, Roan for me over Sable. If you had the choice, would you choose Sable or Roan? www.huntsafaris.co.za...

I will also second @Tim Blackwell , but last I heard his books were still closed for taking on new work. Hopefully he can chime in. Stellar individual. Bad taste in Rum, but a top bloke.

Exactly this. Dealing with someone now that are looking at rescheduling due to the inflated flight ticket costs.

People are often surprised just how big an Eland bull is. Here, our hunter sits with a simply magnificent Cape Eland bull. How these enormous animals move so effortlessly through the mountains, are always a sight to behold. Before breaking the trigger, cast an eye where the roads are... :)

Swift A Frame 570gr in mine.

450 Rigby

Thank you Charles! Appreciate it my friend.

Off to a flyer. Just some ancient animals coming out this past week! Looking forward to showing them off. Appreciate your comment... :)

Thank you Dave, will do so!

@Red_Stag Looking forward to hosting you and your family next year. Thank you for entrusting us with your safari.

Appreciate the comments, Steve! Thank you. Collecting next group today, but will continue posting our season once I'm back.

Stud of a Sable bull for our hunter and the smile says it all. Notice the secondary growth and compression of the rings around the bases of this bull. Sable are notorious for being tough critters and certainly an animal where you want to bring enough gun. They are not scared of taking on dogs...

Welcome to the forum, sir. All the best with your research and exciting times that lie ahead! Take Care, Marius Goosen

Yeah, its an OK one, I guess. :ROFLMAO: Yeah, its a bus! Will let him know! Thanks Kevin!

Due to the fast failing light, and extremely rocky terrain, this was the best photo that we could muster up. This, however, should not take anything away from this incredible specimen. No photo trickery. Simply all 43,5" of Gemsbuck bull. Come and hunt Gemsbuck with us in the mountains. Speak...

Great thread! Down here in our area, 100% of our guests are surprised by the terrain. ( Its NOT what they saw in TV)

Our head Professional Hunter, Nick used the 3 days he had off to chase some Fallow Deer in the rut and connected on this bus. Note the entrance on the rump on this steep quartering away shot, shooting an 80 Lb Elite, using Megameat Broadheads. When hunting is not a job, but a passion, only...

Good day sir, We will be able to assist you. Also will ensure that you are hunting with bow hunting Professional Hunters. We offer quite a bit of walk and stalk with the bow on selected species as well. Please let me know if we can assist in any way. Best Regards, Marius

First hunt of the year happened during mid March. We specifically chose these dates due still having high temperatures in the lowveld of Limpopo since we would be pursuing Cape Buffalo. The dates were chosen over the dark moon, with the idea to catch old bulls wallowing in the mud or lying in...

Probably belongs in the new season thread, but will post it here. Picked up this Caracal on trailcam last night. Hounds will be giving him a workout in the morning.

About 9 years ago, we had a 7-day safari which until 2025 was the only unsuccessful Blue Duiker hunt we had ever conducted. It was the same year where a 4 year drought had been broken. If I recall correctly, the safari happened during November. For 7 straight days, it rained, almost...

Nice pig to round off the trip!

The original Springbuck slam, and my personal opinion, the only one. These four color variants have been around since I was a child and for as long as can remember. Our hunter hunted these rams over the course of a few days.

Welcome to AH! Tony hunted with us a couple of years back. Enjoy your time here with us!

Welcome to AH!

Not on the guns and not trying to hijack your thread, but how would you gentlemen say Nyala? Spell it out.

I think any physical deformation of the shank(see buldge), as Swift A Frames are known to do consistently, will be negated by the temporary wound channel created by the enlarged frontal area of the projectile. I would imagine that deformation doesn't even touch any tissue as its penetrating in...

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...

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
