Hi Hans, sorry for the late reply but I emailed you once again.
He is out with customers, and has no cell reception where he is at.
Hi RandallIs this hunt still available?
Hello Curtis@DE KLERK SAFARIS
Interested in 2022. Could you address a few questions either publicly or privately
1. Are these captive bred / released or born on the property?
2. How many lionesses are on the property?
3. How many lionesses are shot each year? What type of lioness - any adult female?
4. What is the minimum legal cartridge and what is your recommended minimum? 338 win mag be ok?
5. What is the success rate on 5 days and 7 days?
6. Using a few words, how would you describe your DG PH's hunting style and personality?
Thank you,
Curtis
4. Is this a trick question to get me into trouble? Everybody knows that the legal minimum on dangerous game is 375. A 338 Win Mag will be able to do it but it is not legal.
No problem CurtisNo offense meant. I don't follow DG too closely and wasn't 100% sure if 375 was the legal min for lion in SA as a couple countries are not bound by it.
Thank you for the direct answers to all questions
The 338 is an American cartridge so the Africa government probably does not have much experience. It would be odd for the USA to invoke the 9.62 as the legal min for, say, brown bear.No problem Curtis
I do not know why our government insist that lion and leopard be also hunted with a minimum 375 as many a lion and leopard have been killed by 303, 30-06, 308, etc.
To me a 338 Win Mag with good premium bullets is more than enough gun for any lion or leopard.
I suppose the government has to draw the line somewhere.
Sincerely
Hans de Klerk
Hans, still trying to get through to you about the Lioness hunt. I want to get with you as I will be in SA next month. Need to see if logistics will work out. Thanks, AJView attachment 394186
