I will not comment on the use of "curls" at all. Here is how my PH mentor, the late Jan Marais, taught me: If you draw a line from the start of the horn more or less in the direction of where the start points to, you will see that the line is pointing AWAY from the center-line of the kudu's...

Good idea to ask about this from the potential users! :bulb: I would only include in a package those trophy species that are really available in good numbers - so that getting a good specimen by any hunter, even an inexperienced first timer, is just about a given. The real motif of...

My starting statement was not as well worded as it should have been. I wish to do my bit to "prevent Put & Take shooting being cleverly disguised as hunting." Condemning Put & Take shooting will have absolutely no effect - people make money by doing it! I am not going to waste my time attempting...

In this second posting on an aspect of hunting that I make in response to Gerhard Damm plea to do something about Put & Take killing. I again start by defining the subject. I am using someone else definition so that if attacked about the definition I have a strong and powerful ally on my side...

Jaco, Thanks for the moral support! spike.t, I really feel for those who own a far to small property to get rich from hunting only the excess trophies I知 one too! If a hunting outfitter's marketing is so successful that his trophy demand outstrips his ready trophy supply he has to...

Before any subject is discussed it is always a good idea to firstly define exactly what is being discussed. So let us attempt to define Put & Take shooting. Here a quote from an article by Gerhard Damm, an internationally well known and respected conservationist. Hunting & Related Issues |...

Congratulations! Hi John and Cameron, Congratulations on a well planned and executed adventure. Thanks for ridding your country of a few more introduced pests. Pity though to waste the meat, or use it as pig bait. What does the meat of a well killed [DRT] younger camel taste like...

My view is one of those with no vote. Why? I'm a South African Hunting Outfitter and thought I should note vote on this one. For the record, I am, by my choice, not a member of PHASA. Reason? The very poor record and stance they have against "Put & Take" shooting, as I refuse to call it...

Hunting in South Africa by South Africans - Regulations & Seasons Hello masterlucas3, Most of the questions that you have asked have been replied to, but briefly as is fitting for such a discussion forum. Any more detailed reply will start with words like: South Africa has 9 provinces, and...

A "must read" for all hunters intending to visit SA. This is surely a "must read" for anyone even considering booking a hunt in South Africa. I do however wish to question PHASA's interpretation of the regulations in one respect; The timing for signing a Remuneration Agreement. In the...

What a photo needs to be chosen as the winning photo, now thats a question! In good hunting. Andrew McLaren

If it sounds to good to be true.........? There is simply absolutely NO WAY that anyone can "hunt" in any South African National Park! I echo the question by Neil: Inside or adjacent to KNP? What is meant by ".....SANCTIONED HUNT......"? In good hunting. Andrew McLaren
