I would like to share a few recent trophies taken by a fine young hunter. The young man's name is Adriaan Venter. Adriaan will be 15 years old this December. He is the son of one of our veteran PHs Willem Venter. These exceptional animals were taken by Adriaan a few days apart on one of the ranches that his father has managed for years. I told him he can now quit hunting... He has taken the coolest kudu and the biggest warthog he will probably ever see in his lifetime.
Adriaan is an excellent student, very good athlete, and a promising apprentice PH. He has done very well in school and these trophies were part birthday gift, part reward for excelling in his studies. Adriaan hopes to become a veterinarian, in addition to following in his father's footsteps as a PH. I had the pleasure of spending some time in camp with Adriaan, and I can tell you that he is an intelligent, well spoken young man, mature beyond his years. His knowledge of game and African hunting is truly impressive.... Now if I can just get him to start bowhunting...
The kudu and the warthogs were taken from the same concession that we had killed our monster warthogs last month. This concession, by the way, is now being leased and managed by Hannes exclusively for our guests. It had not been hunted in 5 years, and the genetics speak for themselves. We saw several more kudu bulls on this property that were exceptional. I tried talking Adriaan into having his trophy mounts hung in the new lodge at Limcroma, but so far he is not having any of it... I can't say as I blame him...
