On September 3rd. I will fly to the Northern Cape, hunt will be with 4 Aces, Adam Barnard will be my outfitter, for the 3 rd. time.

I will have 7 full hunting days to hunt Aoudad/Barbary Sheep, Sable and Roan.

Then, we´ll see what Africa offers, I hardly have any more space for trophies, so it will have to be small animals, warthog, baboon, jackal, springbok, duiker, steenbok. I already have all of those, but if a really good one is seen........euro mounts, of course.

I will be going with three friends, one of them new to Africa, so we´ll have fun :A Yell:
 
That is always fun to bring newbies along.
You're working on those specialist trophies now.
Good luck.
 
Best of luck! Aoudad are awesome critters and fun hunting!
 
Good luck and shoot straight. Will be watching for a hunt report.
 
Just curious, have you hunted the Northern Cape at that time of year?
 
Lucky you!! What rifle(s) will you be taking?

Hi Art, I have a nice Sako in .338WM which would be just great for the job, but... Iberia has discontinued its direct flight to SA, and we are going with Qatar, Madrid- Doha- Joburg-and SAA to Kimberley. Too many chances to lose a rifle, so I will borrow one from Adam Barnard. He has a good selection .

In 2016 I was there in the second half of September. Nice weather, warm at midday, cool in the morning and evenings.

In 2017 it was last week of September in Natal, first week of October in Northern Cape, great weather, we even had some rain, with an incredible thunderstorm on the last day.

Certainly Wayne, it´s always a pleasure to introduce hunters to Africa, one of the guys coming this year took his first African hunt with me in 2017, with a Lion, no less :LOL:.
 
Nyati, given your travel plans, I think you made the right decision. Does your outfitter have enough suitable rifles for the three of you? I had bad luck with the "camp" rifles we borrowed even though it was only for a few days. Discretion is always the better part of valor.

No problem Art, he has quite a battery of fine rifles, and his PH´s can also contribute.

I didn't see your request re: ship co’s. My last shipment was 2023. Quotes from SBS Logistics ($1,198), Badger Cargo ($1,184 - used them) & AHG Trophy Shippers ($1,746). AHG owner's an asshole so wouldn't have used him anyway. Eastern Cape - Houston, TX, so your mileage may vary. NEVER use Karl Human Taxidermy aka Wild Africa Taxidermy on Eastern Cape. Trophies arrived shattered with no padding/packing material.
