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!

A proper Red Duiker taken on the slopes of the Soutpansberg Mountain! Not a lot of people know this, but Red Duiker is found in the Limpopo Province on the southern side of the Soutpansberg Mountain Range!

This well above average ram was taken by my client early morning on the 3rd day of trying to get a Red Duiker! Another successful day and a well deserved trophy!

A Nyala is one of the most beautiful antelopes in my opinion! A nice old bull taken by my client while on Safari.

As we went through a river bed I saw two bulls on the opposite bank, a quick decision was made to go check out the bulls and see if there’s a shooter. This bull immediately caught my attention while the other bull was a bit younger. As we got into a shooting position they busted us and disappeared into the brush. I decided to go around and see if we could get in front of them. We found the bigger bull standing behind some bushes and my client made short work of that with his .416 Rem! The bull didn’t go 30 yards and was stone dead!!

What a way to start a Safari! First night success within the first hour!!
Each year I get a limited quota on these small antelopes and the permits are limited, also due to well managed areas top quality trophies are delivered!

The Sharpe’s Grysbok is one of the most difficult species to obtain for the Tiny 10 and my client was blessed with a beautiful male!

Long time friend and client with a beautiful dagga boy taken on a recent Safari in the Limpopo Valley!

Shot free hand with his Holland & Holland Dominion in .500/465 NE this bull didn’t go 10 yards before dropping dead, some fantastic shooting!

At 84 years old, tracking Buffalo and carrying a double rifle, he’s setting the bar high for hunters pursuing dangerous game in Africa!!
