mediumSouth Africa - Multiple Hunts
A friend of mine sent me this email about a week ago and I have permission to post it to this forum. I told him that many of you guys would like to have the information for the outfitters/PHs that he hunted with and he said that he would highly recommend all of the outfitters/PHs that he hunted with. There is a link to some of the pictures below.
Greetings To All,
I’m safely back home and am pleased to report that my month long African Safari surpassed even my wildest dreams. I’ve hunted Africa before, but this time the results were exceptional. Over the coarse of three
safaris in different parts of South Africa, we came away with 15 TV shows for Wolf Creek Productions, all shot on high definition.
One of the highlights was taking a lion with my BowTech at 42 yards. It got even better. The next day found me after a white rhinoceros, with a bow. The guide (Peter Tam of Tam Safaris) and I stalked to within 30 yards of a bull. The arrow flew
true and soon I was admiring the new pending world record (darted bow) under SCI. I also arrowed the new pending #3 scimitar horned oryx with Tam’s Safaris.
Moving to the Cowie Valley, I hunted with Guy Hockly of Cullendale Safaris (a new operation) and was blessed to arrow the new pending #4 bontebuck, pending #6 East Cape Kudu and pending #10 bushbuck. Things
just kept getting better.
The last destination found us in the Karoo region, hunting with Julian Theron of Jules Of The Karoo Safaris. He’s been managing springbuck for over 20 years, and it was here I arrowed the pending world record white springbuck, and shot with a rifle, the
new pending world record copper springbuck. In
addition, I arrowed the new pending #4 steenbuck.
In all I took 27 animals, both bow and rifle. It was a trip that produced results which still have not sunk in, and is a testimony that the hunting is still
top-notch in South Africa.
Thanks for your continued support. We now have two weeks off, then it’s time for hunting season! Also, to let you know, the first issue of Hunting The West magazine is now out and we're receiving very positive
feedback from the public.
Enjoy the attached photos.
Best wishes to all,
