Great Pictures

I have hunted Namibrand many times. It is a lot of fun as you have to avoid the tourists and pretend to be 'working' when you get caught.

Some outfitters are allowed to hunt there but they get guided by an employee so they avoid the tourists.

It is quite funny at lunch to hear all these Eco-tourists touting their anti hunting babble when they are eating a Gemsbok or a Springbok that was shot by a staff member for their meal.

Incidentally Namibrand is the largest privately owned piece of property on the Continent of Africa, well over 1,100,000 hectares. It is also absolutely stunning, if you like desert.

.

I don't believe that any one operator has rights to Namibrand anymore. Rather a case by case basis.

Jan Olefose used to hunt there and John Wambaugh used to take out backpack hunts.

I was always sorry for the hunters who were paying a PH big money to guide them and all he did was ride around in the 'Cruiser with them while a young farm employee took them out hunting.

I have always hunted directly through the managing partner. Namibrand is a put together of 7 ranches, interior fences removed. It only has native game, no planting.

Gemsbok, Springbok, Desert Kudu, Hartmann's and I believe a couple of other PGs.

The best way to hunt it is on foot by backpack. The dunes are wonderful and it is hard hunting but rewarding. I have two male Gemsboks over 45" from there and 4 or 5 around 40.
