ZAMBIA: Has Anyone Hunted At Strang Middleton's Ranch?

[TakeMeLord]

Curious... is the "ranch" a high fenced operation like in RSA?

Or is it simply called a "ranch" because it is privately owned land?

Curious about the fencing, the ranch operation, etc.

 

[Hunt anything]

I believe I remember a hunt report from @JES Adventures with Strang Middleton back in 2021 or so.
On a side note I sent Strang several emails about his operation and never received any response from him.

I’ve known Strang for years and hunted with him several times. He’s a great outfitter and become a good friend over the years. The ranch is fenced but is absolutely fair chase IMO.

Day 1

The flight on SA Airlink from Nelspruit to Livingstone was more like a charter than a commercial flight. My family made up nearly half of the passengers and clearing Passport control in Livingstone was a breeze with so few passengers. There were no customs officials inside so we few passengers just exited into the airport lobby. I saw Strang he came up and greeted everyone and I said this is the first time I’ve ever entered a country and had no one check my guns.

He said that’s our problem, there’s no customers officials here so we’re going to have to wait for them to arrive to...

I have spent a few days at his ranch and would say the same most the fence that I seen was low fence cattle type. But really didn’t see much fencing i would definitely call it fair chase.
Strange is a good guy and honest outfitter. Also one heck of a fisherman. He has some great ponds on his place with some awesome fishing as well.
Defiantly not like the high fences of South Africa in my opinion.
