Guineafowl, Natal Spurfowl, Swainson's Spurfowl, Crested Francolin
Thought I would do a hunt report but Photobucket has been a pain of late so might post a few pictures with captions.
Hunted with Kwan Safaris back in August. Couples trip, four couples spent three days in Krueger Park then on to Dullstroom for seven days of wing shooting. We used Dully as a base to hunt ducks and geese, redwing and greywing partridge, pigeons, francolin and spurfowl. Here is an afternoon chasing francolin courtesy of Charl Van Rooyen.
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.

On my first safari in RSA, two of us took a day off hunting big game and shot 13 species of birds and had a great time.

A late evening pass shooting Egyptian geese. Unfortunately we never ran across any Spurwings, which are some of the largest geese in the world. That said, it was all we could do to bring these bad boys to bag!

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......
"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."

Some fine pigeon shooting in the Spitskop area...
And Redwing and Greywing Partridge in the mountains kept things varied and fun!
