Have spent a couple days hunting bushbuck in the mountains that surround this area. Game4Africa owns a chunk of rolling steep slopes and valleys covered in speckboom and other life giving plants. The plan is to get to a high vantage point and glass until we find one then stalk to the opposite...

some guys from Australia in camp-he also took a great bull and is doing some fine shooting. I’m on day six or seven-have lost track entirely but have completed my list and then more. Some outstanding animals. Had opportunities to hunt in a working sheep farm as he had excess ostrich and a...

not a woman-We have hunted buffalo for a couple days in a couple places. Tried to track an old bull but got messed up by a herd of zebra one morning. Stalked a couple bulls in a thick steep canyon. Borderline shooter and we decided to wave off and let him age-most things finer with age! One...

One of the Damaliscus tribe of antelopes if that helps🤣. I had killed a red hartebeest on my first trip and was going to try another one. My ph told me they had a new concession with lots of red hartebeest as well as Tsessebe. I decided to hunt something different and picked them over big...

After our quick morning with the Tsessebee, we were able to drop him off and go back out looking for impala or mtn reedbuck. We found female reedbuck but no rams. Somehow spotted a group of impala rams-all shooters and several of them were very big. Played cat and mouse in the thick brush...

We moved from the main lodge to a somewhat new property they have been working on. Farther north and higher in elevation-in the kramburg mtns on the border of Free State. All plains game here but lots of variety and some real old males. This is flat and grassy valleys with lots of water to...

Never Been there in November but I suspect it to be hot. I’m sure you’ve worked out all the specifics with your ph. This morning we saw sable, lots of eland and a single roan bull-as well as most of the common plains game. No buffalo on the property we are currently hunting-

Redemption you say!?

I read a fair amount. Often check used book stores for random hunting related books. This one was a good find!

I didn’t go to the skinning shed as I sometimes do to see how a bullet performs as they remove the organs. Organs are kept here to sell to the butchery for food. So I didn’t get to see what the bullet actually struck. But we did get it on film which I understand will be in my possession around...

An early start as we are hunting buffalo today. Fried eggs, the good bacon, toast juice and the regular accompaniment. Everyone here runs on coffee except me, and I like the orange juice. Took my .375 wby with 300gr A Frames, leupold 1-6 with an illuminated dot in the center of the...

5 a.m. in the east cape and I am wide awake. I struggle with jet lag every trip. I was glad to have my second rifle. Any good ph should have a loaner/renter in camp to borrow just in case your ammo gets lost in transit or your stock gets broken or catastrophic scope failure or whatever. The...

First morning of hunting in South Africa. I’m in the eastern cape with Game4Africa Safaris. I’ve hunted here before several times and was lured back again with a cape buffalo package which included a kudu and an impala and a nicely discounted rate. I added some animals to that original...

I think blkram nailed it-I was figuring young male in search of his own territory-thanks for the pictures, very nice

That is a no-brainer purchase! Congratulations on that find and best of luck in the field and marsh moving forward!

I would suggest you get in any website that sells multiple brands and check out the buyer reviews. Some makes/models have thousands of reviews and might be of some confusion/help for you. I’ve used stealth cam and moultrie largely for price point, password protection, infrared and battery...

I listened to a ducks unlimited podcast where they were using similar tech to count and track breeding pairs, broods etc. Things that are hidden and impossible to see that are visible to the cameras. Interesting to see the varied uses

Check out 4 stable sticks. Rudolph also has the same thing and I got their version. After using them in South Africa, I bought myself a pair and it is all I use now

Take a couple pairs of shorts so you can change after the morning hunt. So you always have clean dry clothes on. Monkey butt powder will also be your friend. I leave in a week for the east cape. Will post the hunt when I get back-
