Ladies and Gents, I have on offer, several great priced package hunts for plains game in the Eastern Cape of South Africa. I have personally hunted this privately owned ranch several times and can attest to the outstanding trophy quality of its well managed game herds. One of my clients recently put 15 of 16 trophies into the SCI record book and currently holds the #12 Blue Wildebeest in the world (SCI current book)and one of my Blue Wildebeest was an extremely old lone bull that has a 29.5" spread. Very recently, we took a Blue Wildebeest bull with a 33" spread and a Cape Bushbuck with 18" horns. Previously, this ranch was unhunted until two years ago, thus the quality of the game is excellent. Just last week, two of my clients trophies arrived (raw salted) which included an outstanding Cape Kudu and a 5.5" Steenbok, so there are good quality pygmy antelope on this 25,000 acre ranch as well as Cape Kudu over 50 inches. This is one of the best deals anywhere for pure trophy hunting. References on request. Contact me if you would like to customize your hunt. We have excellent prices on trophy fees for 2010. No less than 30 species in the immediate vicinity including Cape Buffalo in the 40-45 inch range on 66,000 acres of rough, thick country. Here are some details:

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

BOOKING: 50% (fifty percent) of safari cost deposit to confirm the safari. Balance on completion of safari.
CANCELLATION POLICY: Deposit will be refunded if cancellation is done within 30 (thirty) days prior to commencement of safari. Failure to confirm the safari within the 30 days will result in a 25% (twenty-five percent) deduction fee from the deposit for admin fees incurred. Package animals not shot will not be swapped or discounted for from original package.

This is not a cull hunt. You are hunting for mature, trophy animals. If you take the next world record "what ever" there will be no additional trophy fee. This is an excellent area to take the wife or children. Lots of game to hunt, photograph and observe. Ranch consists of high plains and deep ravines (kloof's). I recommend a flat shooting rifle of mid caliber. Some shots can be 200-300 yards and beyond. Any questions or pics, just ask.
Good hunting,
David
Huge Bushbuck

Big Kudu!

These are GREAT deals ..... I paid more than these prices in 2002 for the same 7 day hunt. I'm headed to Zim next year, or I'd jump on one of these hunts.

Hi Frank,
This deal is due to the ranch and PH being the owner. Their trophy fees are outstanding and it's all trophy hunting, not immature or culls. Almost every animal taken on this ranch makes book and many score in the top rankings. I've yet to enter any of mine but am certain a number would be at the top. Good to see you and Joyce again. You both are an asset to our AR community.
Cheers,
David
Some trophies from this ranch

The new #12 SCI Blue Wildebeest came from this ranch and one larger than this was recently taken but has yet to be officially scored. Additional trophies not listed on package hunts may be hunted at the current trophy fee, including Nyala, Lechwe, Eland, Zebra, Waterbuck, Oribi, Bushbuck and more!

just curious as to the spread on the #12 Blue?
thank you in advance
dave

If I remember, he was 31.5 inches

In addition to 20 odd species of PG, we also offer Blue Duiker, Vaal Rhebok, Cape Grysbok and Caracal Lynx, Bushpig with dogs for those looking for an exciting hunt. Archer's welcome too. Remaining dates are less selective at this time but the season runs until October.

That one hunter looks like AR's own Palmer. But then, as everyone knows, all you white boys look the same...

KG, it's not our Palmer, this man is from Norway...lucky stiff.. He shot a great Bushbuck but the one hanging in the lodge is much bigger. I'm scoring it for RW this year. How did you wind up on the Sea Ducks this year?
