The prins here in the bushveld is definitely the sable. We have been lucky enough to harvest some really good bulls over the last few seasons. They are always high on every hunters list.
Sable backstraps is very underrated and we never miss an opportunity to cook with it whenever we have one in the cold room.
Here are some of the bulls in my camera roll from the last few seasons!

For the 3rd year in a row we are fortunate enough to partner with as our main sponsor for the Hatchet hunter. They always rock up and make sure we are branded to the brim and it definitely adds to the overall feel of the match!

is extremely grateful to have the backing of Sig and the Bl**er group for our season matches and can't thank them enough.

Our prize table is always full because of our sponsors and without them non of this would be possible!

Make sure you enter for the Hatchet hunter 2025!

Looking forward to the 2025 hunting season. Lots of work still lies ahead, scouting new areas, finding new trails, building roads and setting up cameras. We have a mixed season with a good split between thick brush with big guns and open flats with the magnums reaching out, some thermal night hunting and Africa's big tuskers up north! stay tuned. . . . . .

The 2025 season is just about sold out for and we are excited to have make the big trip across the pond.
Dan has agreed to stay a few extra days in the country and together with we will be hosting a 2 day advanced precision rifle clinic!
Daniel is a very accomplished shooter with many years in the game, multiple national level wins and a ton of experience. While he enjoys winning matches, teaching is what gets him up in the morning, so if you want to take your game to the next level then this post is for you. Get hold of us and book your spot. This will be a small clinic with only a handful of shooters to give you the most out of 2 days, we already have slots sold so don't miss out!
Venue will be shooting range Limpopo, accommodation will be included in the clinic price.

Here is my 2025 season kit and rifle setup. Batteries replaced, med kit re-stocked, match ammo loaded and everything back into the pack. Here is a quick rundown of some essentials for .

-Still running 308 win out of the KRG bravo chassis but for a change im shooting 168 ELD-M and so far so good, not a lot of change in recoil but its definitely lighter on my wallet.
-Leopold MK5 in 3-18 ffp with the PR2 makes for a light and tight rifle setup.
-MDT skye pod Triple pull is a new addition to the season and hoping to use it to full effect this season
-sticking with the Sig 10k binos with the AB, had them for 3 seasons now and zero complaints!
-MDT send it level keeping me nice and plum from a very convenient spot on the gun.
-Kestrel to keep track of everything
-shooting bag, Medical bag, ammo, armboard, note pad, shooting mat, ear protection, tools and backup betteries make up the rest of the kit.
The only thing I add before a match is water and snacks.

Its been raining here non stop so shooting hasn't been a realistic option, looking to get out there a few times before we head down for the

A successful dangerous game hunt starts with dry runs on the shooting range. Making sure everyone knows what to do, all the when's and where's. Clear communication between guide and client and finally making the perfect shot.
All this will surely lead you down the path of a successful buffalo hunt!

Being on safari in South Africa is a lot more than just the hero shots that make it to socials.

Everything revolves around our base camp and hunting trucks taking everyone in and out of their hunting area.

We enjoy the whole process, from planning the day ahead, to the excitement once everyone loads up and goes out for the morning and then when we all meet again at the skinning shed to see what the bush offered us today.

We are grateful to call this work and this place home.

As a company and guiding team we have moved away from the traditional shooting sticks that is synonymous with hunting in the bush of Africa. For our plains game guiding we almost exclusively use carbon tripods with a small bag ontop of it. The stability is non-comparable and we are regularly make mid distance shots that we would never have considered from the shooting sticks.
We spend a extra few minutes on the RSS shooting range with the clients, going through height of the tripod, work flow and communication during those last few seconds before you press the trigger. With modern carbon tripods you can actually control the wobble zone to a certain degree where with shooting sticks you actually muscle the rifle to get that reticle to stop moving.

What we noticed over that last few seasons is that making a accurate 250-300 yard shot from a stable position is a better recipe for success compared to making a fast shot off the sticks from 80 yards. The big difference is TIME. Usually at longer distances the animals have no idea of the hunting party, that gives the hunter and guiding team time to discuss a proper plan, calm some nerves, discuss trophy quality and angle of the shot, breathe and go through a non rushed trigger sequence.

Our terrain does not always allow for a prone shot and if you have a trip planned to Africa in the near future, make sure you practice shooting standing from a tripod!

It's a guide thing.

It's not always beers around the campfire, sitting on the back of the truck kinda lifestyle.

The guiding team works extremely hard before and after the shot, finding animals and then getting them back after they have been shot. Would not trade it for any other job in the world.
