Good day @migrabill
I see a lot of great replies. There is a lot of Game Ranches in Limpopo with Gemsbok although the numbers are still quite low I think over time it will pick up as there will be more and more animals adapting to the Hartwater Tick that cause most of the problems. I believe the cattle ranches in the area also plays a big role in the amount of ticks around. I now some ranches have good success stories with numbers growing and some of the other Ranches are struggling to keep the numbers the same. I would say it's only fair for them to charge more for Gemsbok in Limpopo because of the risks they take and to cover some of the losses they've had over the years.
I'm from the Kalahari/Molopo area in South Africa. We are privileged to have great numbers of Gemsbok and we hunted a lot of 40" bulls over the years, mainly because they are native from this area, well adapted and I think we just have good genetics as well. So this will be a great area to hunt nice Old Gemsbok and Springbok.
Kind regards
