This stud of a Bushbuck ram was hunted with us in the late season during 2024. Big, chipped bases, heavy to the top with a big body and thick neck to go with it. No doubt he was the main guy in his area.

Always so rewarding finding these old buggers.

A sensational Warthog. During the warm months, especially over a full moon, these big boars go almost completely nocturnal. They simply disappear from being seen during the day time, as food is generally plentiful over the summer months. When the cold from the Winter don't bother them, they prefer the safety of darkness. Keep this in mind when planning a safari and if a big pig is on your list.

After getting the call on another lamb killed, arrangements were made to get the hounds over to the kill first thing the next morning. All farmers in our area know to leave any kill and not to disturb it in any way. There is a very high probability that the culprit will return during the night or early hours of the morning, giving the hounds an excellent base to work from. First thing in the morning, PH, hunter and hounds ensued upon the kill site and they immediately confirmed that he did indeed come back . This Caracal was no different, and the experience of the hounds were tested taking a few hours to eventually tree.

When your tracker wants a photo , then you know you've got something special.

Hunting the members of the Tiny 10 is such an underrated hunt. Each one brings its own challenges. In your pursuit to complete the slam, it takes you to 3-4 parts of Southern Africa. Out of the 10, six of them can be hunted in the Eastern Cape. Three of them can be split between Limpopo/Kwazulu Natal/Mozambique with the last one needing you wonder into Namibia.
Here is an excellent Steenbuck taken on the last safari of the 2024 season.

Just got word from head Professional Hunter Nick that he got notified of a fresh kill from one of the nearby landowners yesterday. Upon inspection, he could clearly see the work of a big Caracal but could also see that some Jackal had eaten as well. First thing this morning they went straight to the kill, and as soon as the hounds got there, they start giving tongue.
This has got to be one of the biggest Caracal taken over the pack. An absolute unit.

Do you ever get trail camera photos or see signs of cape leopards in your areas?

Yes, hounds treed two Leopard last year. This is obviously without targeting them. Some of the hounds took a beating. One lost and eye and broken leg. Other one got ruffed up a bit.
