The year is off to good start!

An absolute ancient Red Duiker taken by a return client. Hunting these small antelopes early in the season is not an easy task, especially not with all the rain we had, but we were fortunate to take this male on the first day of the Safari!
Well managed areas produce top quality trophies!!

A big Crocodile hunted in the Limpopo Valley! Hunting these river monster never gets boring as you never know what you’re going to get. My client and I connected with this Croc on Day 4 of our Safari

His first shot was on the money and I told him to put in a backup shot, after the backup shot hit the momentum of the Crocs’ tail pushed him back into the water and in a split second he disappeared into the water! We went to get a boat and returned to the spot with some help and started poking around. We soon found our Croc where he went in to, stone dead!!

Last Safari of the year ended in great success!
A Rhino Dart Hunt is a great, cost effective way to top off your Big 5 and just as exciting and adrenaline filled as any other Dangerous Game hunt! This is also a fantastic way to support the conservation effort of our Rhino’s!

Now for some quality family time at home before I’m off to The States in January!

The poor mans Leopard!

This specific Bushpig we tried to get for about a year and a number of Professional Hunters failed to get him.
Finally the stars aligned for us, this boar was on bait but getting the blind in the right position was difficult due to the wind not co-operating. I decided if this pig is on bait, then we’ll walk in slowly towards the bait sight and see if we can get lucky.

I got the notification from the trail camera that there was activity at the bait just past 07:30pm. We got our gear and off we went. We parked the vehicle about a mile away from the bait sight and started walking in the pitch dark. As we got there I saw our bushpig was on bait with 3 other smaller ones through the thermal. I got my client set up on the sticks and when a clear shot presented itself a loud bang broke the silence and this beautiful boar that eluded as for so long was down!

Some pictures was taken and we took some more daylight pictures the following morning

A great hunt with a great friend! This is number 3 of the Big 5 and number 4 of the Dangerous 7 that we’ve hunted together! Ticking them off slowly but surely!!

My client made a perfect frontal shot on this Lioness and we watched her go down! A well placed shot with a .416 Rem Mag!
