KMG Hunting Safaris 2023 Season Photos

The first day of moisture, after some dry windy days, the pack of hounds managed to pick up a scent in the under growth of this nearby sheep ranch. As we were walking back to the truck, the hounds started giving tongue on the next scent using the favorable conditions. We lost communications with the hounds man, but one can only wonder if it was the other half of this pair.

Beautiful Bushbuck ram for our hunter on a steep downhill shot. Bushbuck are often considered royal game not only in the Eastern Cape, but especially in our base camp area. They are such special animals and if you want to see any of the locals eyes light up, you simply have to raise the topic of either Bushbuck or Hounds.

I regret not hunting one before. It sounds like a special kind of experience.

Beautiful Cape Buffalo bull hunted with us during this past season. Shooting a bull of "X" spread doesn't mean much if they are not fully mature. Our order of importance is number 1, hard bosses, non negotiable, no 2, the drop in the horns OR the shape. Need those nice pretty drops, and only third comes the width. Unfortunately, we as hunters have become far too obsessed with the score. Worry about the age, and the conservation will take care of itself. Be safe out there.

A beautiful Golden Wildebeest taken with us during this past season. Color Variants is certainly a topic that divides many hunters, but how many of them know that the Golden Wildebeest originated from the Tuli Block in Botswana.

One of the greatest success stories in conservation has to be the Bontebok. Where they were once down to numbers quoted as low as 17 individual animals, through private ownership, they were saved from the brink of extinction. One only needs to see them in real life to truly appreciate their vivid colors. Through the sustainable utilization of these animals and giving them value, their numbers have flourished well into the thousands.

Proper Blue Wildebeest taken with us. They are no doubt the toughest animals on the plains.
Born sick, the more you shoot them the healthier they get.

Heavy Bushbuck ram for our hunter. Have we ever told you that we have soft spot for these animals? They are without a doubt the royal game of the Eastern Cape.
