Nico Els
I'm a young, passionate and energetic outdoors-man. I love hunting and I love farming. My whole world evolves around! I grew up in the Settlers Town - Grahamstown - in South Africa. Here my Grandfather started buying back land in the early 60's. It is here where my hunting operation - East Cape Bushveld Hunting - and farming is based!
