    Waterbuck opinion

    He wasn't carrying a rifle. He took the rifle I used to shoot it. We were on the back of the truck and he asked to hand it to him. I was thinking I was getting off the truck to stalk closer. He then proceeded to shoot it from the truck. Also he had me shoot it with a rifle he never had me shoot...

    Yep the PH was the outfitter and the landowner where it was shot. The hunt came from PHASA.

    Waterbuck opinion

    This is just the tip of the iceberg. The PH and his brother then began verbally assaulting me and saying stuff about me. At one point the brother came at the truck to try to pull me off. When I placed the call to PHASA my girlfriend was hiding in the room thinking she was going to be hurt by...

    Waterbuck opinion

    Hunted it for 5 days. It was the only male on the property per the PH. I never got a good look at it. PH told me it was a big male. I took his word for it. I said I don't need a 30" one just a good one. One day at dusk we say it in bush and I didn't stare hard at is as we tried to sneak off the...

    Waterbuck opinion

    Eventually I will write more about a horrible experience I had with a outfit in Limpopo. But right now I would like opinions on weather you think this waterbuck is a trophy. Would you be happy with your PH having you hunt it and never describing it to you. So after the shot this is what you see.

    SOUTH AFRICA: Settlers Safaris In The Eastern Cape July 2024

    Finally it was my last morning in the eastern cape. My flight was leaving Port Elizabeth at 12:40. The evening before Charl and I agreed we would have breakfast and finalize the bill. While eating breakfast the owner of the lodge Murray Crous walked in and congratulated me on the white springbok...

    SOUTH AFRICA: Settlers Safaris In The Eastern Cape July 2024

    The next day found us driving out from the lodge in pursuit of white springbok and black sprinkbok. We were headed in the same area roughly that we had hunted red lechwe in. Once again the wind was blowing strong. This property was surrounded by windmills. So it's safe to say the wind was normal...

    SOUTH AFRICA: Settlers Safaris In The Eastern Cape July 2024

    After the late night hunting we decided the next morning we would hunt around the lodge for waterbuck. So far the waterbuck had been out smarting us. So after a wonder breakfast we headed out. We started the morning glassing from some high vantage points. Once again we spotted some females...

    The next hunt was a evening spotlighting hunt. The goal was to find cape grysbok and springhare. The first property we went to we saw lots of animals but no cape grysbok. While we were hunting the farm manager spotted a female on the other side of the property. This gave us some hope. The...

    I forgot to mention the lechwe had a very unique black mark on his face. Like a birth mark. Such a cool trophy. Another hunt I won't forget.

    SOUTH AFRICA: Settlers Safaris In The Eastern Cape July 2024

    The next morning we were on the road again heading towards a large property out in the Bedford area. As we got closer to the hunting grounds you could see the windmills in the distance spinning at top speed. The wind was howling and the gust were shaking the truck. Had this been a day at home it...

    SOUTH AFRICA: Settlers Safaris In The Eastern Cape July 2024

    Day 3 we made the drive to the mountains to hunt vaal rhebuck. We stopped and picked up the local tracker at the base of the mountains. It took another 40 minutes driving the bending roads to get to the base of the mountain range we would be hunting. I knew we would be in for a treat just from...

    Day 2 continued after the cat hunt. We went back to the lodge property to look for mountain reedbuck and waterbuck. After a nice lunch at the lodge it was time to hunt. We focused on finding a nice waterbuck. Once again they males seemed to be giving us the slip. We had spotted serval females...

    SOUTH AFRICA: Settlers Safaris In The Eastern Cape July 2024

    After the blue duiker hunt we returned to the lodge. I then got a tour of the lodge property. The owner Murray has been buying adjoining pieces of property and was really expanding to a already huge area. There were Impala, zebra, wildebeast, blesbok, nyala, springbok, waterbuck, giraffe...

    I was greeted by my PH Charl Crous at the Port Elizabeth airport. It was such a relief knowing I would be hunting with a great PH, I had hunted with Charl in 2017 when he was working at another outfit. This time I would be hunting with him at Settlers Safaris owned by his cousin Murray Crous. I...

    SOUTH AFRICA: Has Anyone Hunted With Settlers Safaris?

    Yes I hunted with Charl Crous. I also first hunted with him in 2017. I promised him I would hunt with him again someday. Been to Africa a couple times since but this time I wanted to go back to the Eastern Cape. With the focus on some unique animals. A lot of them being free range animals...

    SOUTH AFRICA: Has Anyone Hunted With Settlers Safaris?

    I'm 6'2" and he was probably under 5'11 for sure. I had hunted with Charl before in 2017 when he was a PH at another place. He's now only at Settlers. Great guy and even better PH.
