Off to the Northern Cape
Well fellas, 12 days till my second journey. I've not been to the area before, but we're about an hour from Kimberely. Any must see's? What can I expect for a good minimum for a quality water buck? Thanks....wapiti7

Kruger is not too far away for a visit. As to the waterbuck, depending on the property I would work off of 28 inches as a minimum.


We seldom get to choose
But I've seen them go both ways
And I would rather go out in a blaze of glory
Than to slowly rot away!

Use Enough Gun
I've hunted that area twice (near Kimberley and Douglas). A must see is the Kimberley Big Hole for sure.

Second the Big Hole, Kruger BTW is a long haul form Kimberly, at least a 8+ hour drive.

If you are thinking of getting your wife something nice, my jeweller here was very impressed by the quality of the diamonds in the earings I bought my wife and the price was a but lower than I would have spent here. The store at the big hole was the place I went.

We used spinning tackle, the water clarity was't right for flies, but Harm is a great guy and we had lots of fun.
