Steve, Sounds interesting. Can you point me to someplace where we can learn more about the hunting? Thanks! -Steve --------  www.zonedar.com If you can't be a good example, be a horrible warning DRSS C&H 475 NE -------- | |||

Those trophy fee's will be tuff to beat! Good luck...this looks like a great offer! ****************************************************************** R. Lee Ermey: "The deadliest weapon in the world is a Marine and his rifle." ****************************************************************** We're going to be "gifted" with a health care plan we are forced to purchase and fined if we don't, Which purportedly covers at least ten million more people, without adding a single new doctor, but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents, written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that didn't read it but exempted themselves from it, and signed by a President, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, for which we'll be taxed for four years before any benefits take effect, by a government which has already bankrupted Social Security and Medicare, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that's broke!!!!!

Steve, Ask away bwana - The area is one of the very best game reserves in RSA and has huge game populations. Terrain varies from mountainous to flatlands and is predominantly mixed acacia bushveldt. Roscoe, The daily rate ain't bad either! - I've been hunting this area for 25 years and it's one of the very best. - Even Mandela has visited and rumour has it that he even hunted a bit there. | |||

Steve, I just replied to a PM from Jaco about my questions. Basicly I just wanted details about where the hunt would take place. Area (acres/hectars), fencing, accomidations, etc. Photos of the ranch would be nice as well! Thanks! -Steve -------- www.zonedar.com If you can't be a good example, be a horrible warning DRSS C&H 475 NE -------- | |||

Steve/Jaco, Wow! Those are some very interesting rates. If you had this planned a month later I would be very interested in knowing what the 1 on 1 rates would be. Oh hell, who am I kidding? I want to know what it would be any way, you just never know! LOL It seems you two have been working hard at this. I commend your efforts. | |||

Whew, getting lots of questions by PM and e-mail on this. The reserve is approximately 60000 hectares of a combination of flatlands and mountains with the expected range of game animals to be expected in those habitats. The reserve also has good populations of both black and white rhino, elephants, buffalo and leopard on it. There's two hunting camps in the reserve and I'm not sure which one we'll use as it will be dependant upon the number of hunters and non-hunters but we will all be staying in the one camp. Both camps have recently been refurbished and I don't have pics of the changes, but as soon as I can remember how to fly my scanner, I'll post a series of pictures of camps, areas and trophies previously taken there. I've been hunting this reserve on and off for the last 25 years and know it pretty well. The cost of hunting 1x1 is an additional US$100 per hunter per day. | |||

Those are some great prices. If we weren't already going to Namibia for 21 days that year, I would be VERY interested. You should make this an annual hunt. I would love to attend one day. _______________________________________________________ Hunt Report - South Africa 2022 Wade Abadie - Wild Shot Photography Website | Facebook | Instagram | |||

We intend to make it an annual event - but it can only work if we get the support of the forum members as we sure as hell ain't getting rich on this one and it takes a lot of work and time...... Here's a few pics of camps and I'll post others as and when I can make this new scanner work properly. There's also lots for the non hunters to do here.    | |||

Here's some more pics..... I'm having trouble with my scanner and will try to post more as and when it allows me to.... All trophes were obviously taken on the reserve.     | |||

One of the most beautiful places I've hunted in my life! Game in large numbers and due to the size of this property it is fair chase all the way! One of our 2007 hunts will be just closeby on another game farm in the same area - planning to book one of our July 2008 hunts during July this year (must book one year in advance) in exactly the camp you have posted pictures of above. Must congratulate Jaco and Steve for selecting this venue! Something you shouldn't miss, for sure. OWLS My Africa, with which I will never be able to live without! | |||

Besides the hunting, there are lots of other activities available, fishing on the Pongola dam, sundowner cruises on the dam, Rhino tracking and lots more. We would encourage members to bring their partners along. The ladies will enjoy it very much. Life is how you spend the time between hunting trips.

Bump! Mostly because I am very interested. Now I need to talk wifey into it, which shouldn't be all that difficult. Who else is thinking pretty seriously about it? THE LUCKIEST HUNTER ALIVE! | |||

We received quite a lot of pm's and emails. I want to suggest that members who are interested in the hunt must please mail me at jacohu@mweb.co.za or Steve at shakari@mweb.co.za It is a lot easier to communicate by email than by pm's. We cannot send the same pm to everybody, the system stops us. Please note that no deposist will be payable now. Deposits will only be payable in October 2007. We are now only trying to establish interest. This hunt have promise to become an anual event. Life is how you spend the time between hunting trips.

Shakari What is Aim? Brett DRSS Life Member SCI Life Member NRA Life Member WSF Rhyme of the Sheep Hunter May fordings never be too deep, And alders not too thick; May rock slides never be too steep And ridges not too slick. And may your bullets shoot as swell As Fred Bear's arrow's flew; And may your nose work just as well As Jack O'Connor's too. May winds be never at your tail When stalking down the steep; May bears be never on your trail When packing out your sheep. May the hundred pounds upon you Not make you break or trip; And may the plane in which you flew Await you at the strip. -Seth Peterson | |||

Brett, It's what you do just before you shoot a firearm......  Sorry buddy, it's the SA hunters show that happens in Jo'burg and organised by well known PH and author Pierre van de Walt. - Not a bad day out and although I didn't make the evening party last year because I was in Tanzania, the one the year before was great! | |||

I thought it was a good idea and expressed interest last year. In retrospect I probably shouldn't have posted that as it may be the reason nobody else signed up. _________________________________ AR, where the hopeless, hysterical hypochondriacs of history become the nattering nabobs of negativisim. | |||

The dates are of prime importance for the arrangement of such an event.  I have just spoken to Pierrie van der Walt, the chief show organizer: The 2009 AIM Show is to be held 3rd to 5th April 2009 at the War Museum in Johannesburg. I know it will make planning quite a bit easier for those who are really interested. I will be glad to join the PARTY!  Help on offer if required. In good hunting.
