    What color light for leopard?

    This is what I use. Mount 2 of these facing away from the blind at an angle above the bait. You can mount the lights the day after you get the first hit, let the cat feed for a second night and sit on the 3rd. The lights have 3 settings. 1.Day and Night 2. Motion 3. Dusk Never use...

    Dealing with wounded Cape buffalo

    In your professional opinion, what would you do if a single track with no blood gets mixed up with 40 other buffalo tracks and you have no idea where to go? Loose the animal and submit your invoice or find it by any way possible? FYI....referring to a Zim tracker as a proper tracker is a...

    Dealing with wounded Cape buffalo

    You have all the right not to be happy if your ph shoots directly after your shot, especially if that wasn't the arrangement. I have had hunters require a back up shot immediately after they shot and still held off on my shot. Not everyone is the same but when hunting with me you can be...

    Dealing with wounded Cape buffalo

    Unfortunately the cost goes to the hunter/client. Keep in mind that calling a helicopter in is the absolute last resort. The recent recovery cost was $500.00 per hour. The search took 1.5 hours. It's a very simple decision. Pay an extra $750.00 or loose a $12000.00 trophy.

    Where can you bow hunt Hippo and Rhino?

    Bow Hunting Rhino is out of the question. Nowhere in Africa will you ever get a permit to legally bow hunt a Rhino by killing it. Rhino hunting is only legal in Namibia and South Africa. Both countries do not allow bow hunting of Rhino. Your only chance to legally bow hunt Rhino is to apply...

    Considering rhino hunt or dart hunt

    If CITES succeed in listing White Rhino on Appendix 1 you will see Rhino prices shoot through the roof due to limited quota availability. A good example is the Lions. Although CB Lion prices declined due to USFW not allowing them in, the Wild Lion prices sky rocked.

    Considering rhino hunt or dart hunt

    I'll get straight to the point and I might step on a few toes here but that's the reality of it all. I hunt enough Rhino's each year to know exactly what the procedures and legalities are. Rhino's are under tremendous poaching precure all over Africa and something like "free range" and...

    Buffalo or hippo on land

    One thing we need to understand about Hippo is that they can't stay out of the water for to long in the African Sun. You will most likely see more Hippo out of the water on a cloudy day vs a sunny day. To find a Hippo out of the water you need to be up before sunrise or wait them out till the...

    I use my 416 Rigby on all DG hunts, I can't see why you would want to go to 450gr if the 400gr works prefectly.

    South Africa animals not contained by high fence

    Marius, any crawler will crawl a fence it the fence is not properly maintained. I am sure that any animal will jump, crawl or break through a fence if it's pushed hard enough. I have seen Eland break a high fence as well as huge bulls clear the top of a 2.4m high fence. If pushed it will go...
