It's hard to believe that another hunting season is well underway up in the Limpopo. We have hosted several rifle hunting guests already and our first bow hunters are due to arrive next week. Although we can host both our bow and rifle hunting guests anytime of the season, generally we recommend that our bow hunters plan their hunts between the months of May through September.

The size of our bow-only properties and the management plan we have in place assures great hunting opportunity all season. That said, our most serious bow hunters prefer to plan their safaris around the new (dark) moon phases of the driest months. A dark moon and a dry winter is the best combination to have those animals on their feet all hours of daylight in search of water and minerals.

The 2018 dark moon phases for southern Africa are as follows:

May 15
June 13
July 13
August 12
September 9

It is absolutely not too early to reserve dates for the 2018 hunting season with us at Limcroma. The 4-5 days leading up to, and 7-8 days after the new moon are the prime times to book your bow hunt. We already have several clients reserved for 2018, and the remaining dates will fill up as much as a year in advance. Please don't ever hesitate to contact us personally with your bow hunting or safari planning questions. We love to talk bow hunting, and it would be our pleasure to plan the best bow hunting experience of your life!

I saw you were looking for some Swift A-Frames for your 9.3. I just bought a bulk supply of them in the 285g. version. If Toby's are gone, I could let 100 go for $200 shipped you are interested.
Thanks,
Gary
