We had one more day with the cameraman but I was out of money for more animals. We didn’t want to waste a day or the opportunity at more film. So myself and ph Wik did some math and he offered me a couple options. Cull animals are free, but hard to come by since everyone wants to shoot them...
I had expressed a desire to hunt an ostrich. I just wanted the experience, didn’t want any feathers or any taxidermy pieces and parts, just the hunt. My ph doesn’t have them in his properties and most ph’s hate them. They have spook easily and when they run they legitimately spook all the...
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...

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...
Not sure if cal ranch is a nationwide chain or not but the one nearest my house had a dozen 1k count boxes of federal magnum primers on the shelf. F215’s for $150 per thousand. Maybe a store near you has some as well. . .
