Another magnificent Cape Kudu bull that broke the 50" mark. Since 2019, we started focusing heavily on age. Now, 6 years later, we can physically see the fruits of our labor from our decisions we made back then. So many more animals that we hunt during current times, on their last teeth.
Ivory tips is not something that is common on Bushbuck. This old ram was heavy all the way up with the some ivory to show. Typical Cape Bushbuck with his dark, chocolate coat.

When Africa offers you a blessing, you better be ready to accept it. This is a stellar Waterbuck coming in at 32". A Waterbuck was never on our hunter's list, but when an animal in this class walks out, it was never in question.
What animals were there that wasn't on your list, that you now...
This Caracal took us to some deep country. We had received a call from one of the nearby sheep farmers that one of his Merino Sheep ewes had been caught. Staff members noticed something in the grass and upon inspection, found the dead ewe, with the Caracal crouching behind and taking off as they...
My double rifle is in for some work for exactly this reason at the moment.
Moving the red dot from just in front of the action to the following position.
We get asked many times what is our favorite animal to hunt. The Bushbuck could be one that challenges us the most, but it sure is the one that is the most rewarding.
They are without a doubt the most temperamental animals out there. On beautiful days they will go missing, and be out in the...
Don't need them personally, but would be happy for any of my hunters coming for Buffalo to bring them for themselves. They really do perform well, so was just wondering about the availability.
Currently, I am shooting the 340gr Rhino's out of the 375 if someone is renting my rifle. Also really...
Generally, they stay inside of bulls, but they are the brand that stands above the rest when it comes to exiting. Some may want that, I certainly don't.
Those TBBC are excellent but have heard that they are difficult to come by in the USA. Have you had the same experience in acquiring them?
We are having a blast! Little bit of cat and mouse with this ram, and trying to figure him out, but we managed to outsmart him. Our hunter made a great shot on this beautiful specimen.

Scotland is one of the most beautiful countries I have ever seen. Scottish Highlands is a must. There is a day tour on bus that departs out of Edinburgh which my wife and I enjoyed thoroughly. I would at least swing by Edinburgh for an afternoon. Some incredible historical architecture there.
Beautiful Lechwe for our hunter. After putting in the initial stalk, we tried to close the distance without being noticed by other animals in the area. He decided to continue his path, away from us, which left us pinned if we wanted to stay undetected. After disappearing for roughly an hour, we...
After getting approximately 3 inches of rain the previous day and throughout the night, the hounds were out first thing in the morning. The earth was absolutely soaked. Once the weather gave a gap, the predators were out moving with our two separate hound packs picking up two Caracal.
Note...
How is the ivory on this old Kudu bull? Big neck, big beard with 10" ivory either side. Simply a breathtaking animal, and one that doesn't make you hesitate.
We have had an extended rainy season in parts of the Eastern Cape. Whenever the weather gives us an opportunity, we need to make use of it. This safari was in April, and the ground was absolutely saturated, but gave us this special photo. Here our hunter sits with a beautiful Springbuck ram.
Reminds me of a time we had a family in camp. It was a father, who had hunted with us twice before. On his third trip, he decided to bring his wife and three children.
My Professional Hunter decided to walk a game trail that offered openings to look at the opposite ridge, great for Duiker and...
My Hk Micro is the dual version that clips on and can be used as a hand held. Its as simple as changing the setting from Handheld to Clip On version, but, you need to confirm zero to ensure that your scope crosshairs are aligned.
In handheld mode, I can pick up an animal at a mile.
Personally, I wouldn't go as far as saying that the European Thermals suck. I simply have not used them enough to be able to form that blanket opinion, but I can say that my HK Micro blows my Pulsar out of the water.
Well, from my perspective, I felt more vulnerable in the big cities within the USA this year than what I do back home. I guess its a question of comfort within my known surroundings.
I would also just add that people tend to forget that we have 10 different tribes within South Africa. They are...
Vivid Zebra Stallion with a simply breath taking skin. Zebra are one of the animals where both sexes are hunted. During certain times of the year, we will concentrate on Stallions, especially when the mares are pregnant. Saying this, care still needs to be taken on reducing numbers of the mares...
A big pig should always be on everyone's list, because when you are looking for one, they seem to vanish off the face of the earth. The rut has been on and off across the species this year. When they were on, we made it count.
The wet weather has recently made for some tough hunting conditions, making it difficult to get to certain places. What it has also done, is made conditions for Caracal perfect. Every morning, we have had great moisture on the ground which gives the hounds plenty to work with. With moisture, the...
Great Fallow Deer buck taken with us during the post-rut in the Eastern Cape of South Africa in late April. They have such an interesting story, and have been along our shores for so long that we consider them one of our own. Many others were passed on before settling on this particular buck...
No photo trickery here. Just a brute of a Red Hartebeest for our hunter. Hartebeest are one of the toughest to take a good photo of. Somewhere along the lines, one has to give up a certain aspect of a big bull. The big bell, the height off the skull and the length of the tips all need to get...
What are your thoughts regarding Bushpigs? Often discussing with hunters, especially from the USA, those who choose not to hunt one, will often state that they have hunted many pigs back home so a Bushpig simply does not excite them. Bushpigs are a species in their own, not a feral pig. They can...
Here is another light colored Bushbuck ram from our areas. The Eastern Cape are notorious for producing dark, chocolate rams with some of them almost black. My personal opinion is that this is often when the individual animal is in his prime, and my observations have been that they turn "grey"...
Greenpoint, Seapoint or Camp's Bay. First two are close to a lot of restaurants and the ocean. Camp's Bay is stunning and situated at the foot of the mountain overlooking the ocean. Some incredible properties there.
We always welcome the ladies to get in on the action. This Stallion fell to a single shot from a 300 Win Mag after a long stalk. Who has enjoyed Zebra fillets and what were your thoughts? I have my reservations... :censored:
