My name is Anton and I am a keen hunter. I have hunted most plains game in SA. I hope to learn a lot from my new found friends.
 
Welcom spekieries, you will love it here.
 
Welcome to the forum, Anton.
 
Anton welcome to AH...

Where do you do most of your hunting?
 
Welcome to AH Anton! We would enjoy some of your stories of hunting in Africa.
 
Welcome to AH and likewise, I hope to learn from you.
 
Welcome to AH!

I like hunting the hard bushveld. Most farmers distinguish between the hard and soft bushveld by the vegetation. The area of the Waterberg (Nylstroom) with it's Raasblaar and Fluweelwilg(Velvet bushwillow) can be considered soft bushveld. Closer to the Limpopo river you wil start finding Mopanie, Sickle Bush and Rooibos(Red bushwillow) This area will be considered the Hard Bushveld.

I have a cousin with a cattle farm close to Makado where we often hunt. Places where I have hunted in the Bushveld are: Melkrivier, Ellisras, Thabazimbi, Baltimore, Legkraal, Mussina, Venetia Mines,All Days, Vaalwater and once as a Non-hunter on a ele hunt in the Sapi hunting concession in ZIM.

Every third or fourth year we hunt Springbuck and Blesbuck up in the Karoo. This year we hunted Noupoort, close to Middelburg.

Welkom boertjie! ('Welcome Boertjie' - Afrikaner greet)
I have also hunted kudu in Ellisras and Thabazimbi - way back when i was in highschool.
Glad to have you here on AH - let us know about your hunting experiences.

Nice Report! Im about to pull the trigger on booking the LDE with Patrick. I have been talking about it with him for about 3 yrs now. Romain hit me up the other day with an offer I can't refuse for 2027.

Andrew, I commented that your on 375 H&H for sale was the fair price.

Like I commented, my classic stainless has the original 24” barrel.

Did you buy yours with the barrel already cut down to 21” or did you do it (or a gunsmith)?
