    Where are the Biggest Leopards found?

    Cape leopard in the coastal Eastern and Western Cape mountains are generally smaller. They’ve adapted to survive in their environment. Every now and again this theory is tested however. There was a leopard killed with dogs in the Grahamstown area a couple of years ago that was over 100kg, some...

    When should a Professional Hunter provide follow up shots?

    The topic has been well covered. There's no worse feeling for a PH than having to shoot his client's wounded animal. Communication is key but I do believe there are two scenario's where it's non negotiable and it comes down to universal hunting ethics. 1. Where the animal (DG) poses a threat...

    Caesar and his wife Megan and their friends Jason and father, Dan hunted with us in July. Some light hearted banter centred around who would take the largest eland. Dan and Jason hunted two exceptional eland and Jaco (PH) was all smiles. Caesar and I returned with this eland on the 2nd last day...

    Thanks again for hunting with us. I struggle even to get my buddies in line for a 4 ball of golf at the local course so have real admiration for you for putting this hunt together.

    Denis last hunted with us in 2016. Was honoured to have him hunting with us again. His buffalo wasn't planned. We were hunting warthog in thick valley bush when the dagga boy burst out the thicket, Denis wasted no time in taking the 30 yard shot.

    Cape Eland & Livingstone Eland Pictures

    3 big bulls taken by our clients this past week. Horn length is hardly ever a priority with eland - age, colour and dewlap is almost always more important. This first eland had it all with longest horn measuring 40 1/2 ". SCI was 104". Next two were up there to at 38" and 36". We hunt a lot of...

    Karoo Wild Safaris operates out of the Karoo, Eastern Cape. Our area is very diverse and supports a large range of species not found in the Limpopo area. I'd be happy to plan a hunt for you in our area.

    Export Permit Problems with Sable Mount - Free State

    All good and I’m sure your outfitter will fix it. The paperwork doesn’t have to be filed prior, it’s a standing permit for sable that lies with the property you hunted the sable on.

    Export Permit Problems with Sable Mount - Free State

    Sable in the Free State require different paperwork. Your outfitter would’ve re applied with different paperwork. How he came by that is on him. I can assure you, no amount of “greasing the wheels” would have taken place. Environmental laws are strong here and there’s a definite paper trail...

    Judging Kudu

    Magnificent, old bull. I don’t believe either horn will make 50 though, width at the first curl isn’t wide enough. Love that shape though, would shoot that over an ugly 55 any day.

    Hunting SA or "Wild" Africa - Which is Better

    Well said. I'm going to make statement that I can't factually prove - the date simply isn't there because Africa isn't very adept at collecting accurate statistics - but I know it to be true. South Africa has more kudu on low fenced property than any other Southern African country. By a long way

    Hunting SA or "Wild" Africa - Which is Better

    A lot has been said of South Africa’s high fenced properties and reserves. In reality however, only a small fraction of SA’s total privately owned properties are fenced. I’m interested to know what the perception is of the animal numbers in South Africa in the low fenced areas (ie outside of...

    Good advice Randy. Thank you. I have a bigger mountain for you with Vaal Rhebuck on :). You were honestly fine on the klipspringer hunt - you're too hard on yourself. All the best to you and Shannon - hope you've got her hunting more, she's very light on ammo.

    Thanks a mil for all your advice. it’s much appreciated. I’ve slept on it (albeit briefly). I’m going to wish them well with their hunt and let them know we can meet them for lunch near the airport on their return home. Warning them would come across as sour grapes even though I genuinely am...

    Moral dilemma

    I have a moral dilemma I would never normally dream of putting on this group. We hosted a family of 3 hunters and wives 3 years ago at our lodge.

    CAMEROON: Lord Derby Eland January 2023
