Hi Guys, I just thought I would post a few pics from our trip last week. I hope the post isn't too big, but if so then one of the mods can just let me know and I will split it or remove. Rgds, K                                       | ||

Wing shooting, with PROPER guns. You did it right! I love the SxS, and hammered ones even better. Keith IGNORE YOUR RIGHTS AND THEY'LL GO AWAY!!! ------------------------------------ We Band of Bubbas & STC Hunting Club, The Whomper Club | |||

It is great to see a real bird hunt with sxs guns rather than a "shoot" with a big pile of birds and extended tubed semi-autoloaders. | |||

Thanks guys, It really is hunting and all for wild birds. Even with the volume of game on the ground you have to work to get them otherwise they are just too smart. I think we finished up with 16-18 species and over 2,000 head shot for the week which was a great result. The team fired about 6,500 shells in a week. I'm heading back out most of September to host the next two groups in ten days, and although it's getting more difficult to keep leaving the family as the kids get older, I can't tell you how much I enjoy considering that place as my office!!

Boy that looks like fun. I need to find better friends, no way my friends would be that adventurous. I would be lucky to scrounge up 1 guy to go. They would rather buy a new pickup or put the money on a jet boat etc. And whine about not having money. You are a lucky man. | |||

SG, You should just come along on your own and make new friends!!  K | |||

I've never been able to understand why African wingshooting isn't appreciated by overseas hunters more than it is.  People don't seem to know what they're missing!  | |||

Shakari has a good point. While I have carried a shotgun over on numerous oocasions, wingshooting is what I do when I have finished big game hunting... I'd love to travel through the Africa just gunning for fowl. I am sure it would be a hoot! On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

Hi, My friend and business partner Dennie is the outfitter for all my hunts in RSA. We put all aspects of the hunt in place together to make sure everyone goes home happy. Steve, It is a shame you are no longer nearby for our regular dinner opportunity but hopefully we can fix that in October in PT. you should get yourself down there with us some time. I make a mean gin cocktail shaken not stirred!!  K | |||

Kiri It'll be fun to get together & I'll be making one or two business trips to the Lowveld later this year or early next year so with a bit of luck, we'll get together then as well. I'll add that I've known Dennie for years & he's as straight as a die & also great company.  | |||

Indeed Dennie is one of the nicest guys I know. Having grown up in the Okavango and as a PH for many years it is always educational hunting together. I take the view that life is to short to spend time with people I dont like!! Those that have hunted with us before will be pleased to know that Bill Pink sent Dennie a new joke book after last years hunt. I think he memorised it!! Steve, I am spending most of september there hosting more bird hunts and then will be back for October too by the looks of things. We have been offered some problem buff from the Kruger at silly prices through one of the companies we do other business with down there so it looks like the 375 may get a look in as I amended my permit today. I will keep you posted of my movements. Rgds, K | |||

OK mate. I'm probably going to be in & out of the Nelspruit area a bit so the chances are we'll meet up. | |||

WOW! Simply outstanding! I LOVE to bird hunt and that looks like heaven! | |||

Amazing pictures. Yes the old SXS including hammer guns! I'd love to see some video clips - particularly of sandgrouse! I can almost feel the stubble scratching my ankles! "When the wind stops....start rowing. When the wind starts, get the sail up quick." | |||

Naki, We didn't get to shoot sandgrouse on this hunt. Next years hunt is being amended now to add sandgrouse in the kalahari. It will be a ten day hunt and I think will be one of our best trips yet. The hunt next month will be filmed so I will get some clips up at the end of September. We will be hunting upland birds, waterfowl, doves and pigeons for 15 days so I am hooping to get some good footage. Rgds, K | |||

I hope you will let us know so we can have a beer and some prawns at least "Buy land they have stopped making it"- Mark Twain | |||

Kiri, We'll all have to get together with Luan as well........ but don't plan to drive afterwards!   | |||
|
| one of us |
Sounds like a plan mate. A wise man outsources such items as driving in the face of festivities!! I just got a provisional for April High volume Doves and Geese which will be closer to Nelspruit than the Free State so you might be able to come and give that old musket an airing. Rgds, K | |||

| one of us |
i'll have to be there in either April or May so let me have your dates when you have them & I'll try to make my dates fit in with yours..... | |||
