Beautiful chocolate Bushbuck ram. This ram had massive bases, with a simply magnificent coat to go with it. These are the heartbeat of the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa.

Love the Hippo biltong, Phil!

That doesn't sound like you at all, Dave...hahahaha. Love hunting them. Hunting one in two days time.

Also like it, either as a meal or Biltong.

Its excellent! Very similar to beef, but with a 2/10 fishy taste on every third chew. Someone mentioned that they would try making crackling with it. That would be interesting.

Big holes matter.

If you are willing to travel to the Eastern Cape, we can assist. Cape Grysbuck is a nocturnal hunt, so it won't be as simple for just a day hunt. You will need a few nights to hunt one. Blue Duiker can be 1-2 days from a blind or over hounds. Please let me know if we can assist in any way...

A great Hippo bull taken by one of our hunters. Who has eaten Hippo and what were your thoughts? If you haven't tried it, would you?

Blast from the past. This ram's color is more accustomed to further Northern parts of the country, with our Cape Bushbuck generally being more dark. The old folk tells the stories that its from eating on the Wild Olive trees that turn our Bushbuck rams so dark. This, they say, also applies to...

Makes sense. When they are active around the bait like that, it makes for an exciting hunt.

They are very intriguing. I guess it depends on the area, but Zim has loads of them. Surprised you couldn't get one there.

Indeed. Personally, I love hunting them. (When preparation is correct, otherwise nights can get long.)

Spotted Hyena can often split opinions among hunters, as I've seen over the years through comments. Here is an ancient Hyena hunted with us, with almost no hair left. What are your thoughts? Given the opportunity, would you hunt one?

Recently I saw a post from one of the celebrity hunters showing his successful Elephant hunt. I was amazed by some of the ignorant comments such as, " I am a hunter, but I would never hunt an Elephant. There is no need for that." This is the result of a successful Elephant hunt. One simply have...

A stellar bull from one of our free range areas. Mass, length, deep spiral, this bull truly has it all. We'll see you soon.

You can purchase Black Powder in South Africa. Easiest would be for the Outfitter to do it on your behalf, and he will need to be in possession of a Black powder permit for storage. Then you will need to redevelop your load since the powder here is of a lesser quality than you would be used to...

Beautiful Kudu bull taken by one of our hunters. We've had some good rains in the area recently. Animals are going to be in excellent condition for the coming season.

Look at the bull on the far right. Look how deep. Going to be a monster. Excellent genes.

Something special brewing in this photo. Any guesses?

@Frederik Focus on the bases. Make sure that they are solid.

300Win should wreck him. Somehow I feel I should have added "crying myself to sleep" as an option to the question.

Fair comment, but generally a yard either way puts them into the thick stuff.

This is the only angle he gives you, as he's peacefully feeding away from you. What's your move?

Thank you everyone. This hunt has been sold.

Playing audio recordings of oxpeckers will only confuse the trackers. :)

Spot on.

An exceptional Blue Duiker. Real pity that a Caracal got to him before we could put a hunter onto him. Would have made someone very proud.

No sir, this is in South Africa. Coastal region.

This is why we believe in predator control. This was from a Caracal kill, and happy to report that with the help of the hounds, managed to eliminate the perpetrator. Any guesses to what this belongs to?

Another behemoth of a Cape Kudu taken in one of our free range areas.

Welcome to the forum. Let us know what you are looking for in a trip and I'm sure members here will have some recommendations. All the best with your research. Take Care, Marius Goosen

It's the tiny details that matter. Look carefully.

And neither am I saying that they are the same experience, but there is simply no way that they can be of the same value. We get a lot less permits for Kudu in our open areas(Only one or two bulls per 2200 acres) as compared to a managed area where the owners basically decide the offtake for...

My statement wasn't only on Lions. I was referring to hunting in general. The reality is that there are people that will happily pay $4000 for an Elk in a 800 acre area, hunt with a guide that has been around for 1 year and be happy that he shot a big bull, when there are $13,000 hunts in big...

I think its an overrated experience...

Managed to catch this Nyala bull out feeding late in the afternoon. Comments? Leave him or do you think he makes the cut?

I have found it almost impossible to obtain the rubber ring on the eye piece for my Leica APO Televid 65 Spotting Scope. I am now at a year trying to find this part. My Spotting Scope is Leica, I have two sets of Leica Geovids, which one of them is the latest 10x30's. I am now at a stage of...

Something that I have learnt is, the lower the price, the more flexible people's perception of ethics become.

Appreciate your comment sir. That would be our pleasure.

Thank you sir.

This Warthog boar was unsure about the noise above him..... :) He doesn't look too bad to be honest.

USFWS will need to answer you on that one.

The hounds did well here in bumping this nice Caracal. This hunt was late in the season where conditions already started to dry up which makes it really tough for the hounds. You just need the conditions overnight for one day to create some moisture and you will be off to the races. (Excuse the...

Until this day, no one has connected on this bull...

Cape Mountain Zebra from the Eastern Cape. Sadly, not importable to the USA. Yet.

Recommending illegal activities on a public forum is probably not the best idea.

My Merkel 500 N.E comes in at 10.6lbs.... very interesting to see the 470 coming in heavier.
