Hi Tidbit,
I will be more than happy to forward you all of the references from my hunters from the 2011 season.

Well Sir,
If you take the value of the Bushpig off the price for the 10 days, you will see that its $210/day. Its hardly a bushpig "thrown" into the deal. We take Bushpigs very seriously, as so many want one and fail in their quest.
As I mentioned we put a lot of effort into each Bushpig.
Once a client books with us, with a Bushpig on his wishlist, we spend around 3 months preparing for that hunt.
Our success comes from our time we put in. Should you require, we would even go as far as forwarding you the trailcam photos showing you the progress of the bait being hit, before you even arrive.

Best Regards
Marius

I don't have any connection with Marius, but his operation is on my short list for my next trip to Africa.

Cheers..

Slightly off topic, but you don't just walk in and shoot wild bushpigs. They are cunning and secretive little buggas and many locals rarely get to see one.

You're damm right Code 4. I wasn't fast enough for the only opportunity i've ever had on a decent Bushpig and i still relive that moment often. Nights of baiting them up with the slop from local beer brewing yielded sod all and then i find one on the top of a bloody great bald rock hill near the Motopos and never got a shot away. An under rated species that deserves serious consideration in my book.

Not a bad deal considering Your price list shows a bushpig is $900.00
How much for a buffalo?

I have Talked to Marius by phone , we hunted a few miles from him this year I killed a super bush pig. that area is covered in Pineapple farms , even though there no guarantee there is a high percentage to take a Bush pig . If i were not doing an antelope hunt this year I would take this offer.

This is why we prepare 3 months in advance. It takes the pigs a while to find the pit. Then it takes them a while to get into their routine. Once we have them coming in every night, we can see what time they come to eat. This usually leads to some painful patience of getting into shooting position just before dark and sitting almost motionless until game time. Painfull, but so rewarding when you see that white mane moving into the pit.

oh, i don't know. i killed 2 in Coutada 10 a couple years ago in broad daylight. one walked up while we were retrieving a stuck land cruiser from a dry creek bed. i was video taping the process when i looked over my shoulder and saw a boar and sow feeding toward me about 40-50 yards away. put down the camera, walked down to the stuck cruiser to get my rifle, walked back up the creek bank and shot the boar. bear in mind the noise/commotion that was going on the whole time. i am sure they are wary on farm land but can't belive from this that same is true in true bush country. maybe i am just lucky.

notice the daylight

Believe me,
You were just lucky.....

Very interesting red colour to that pig. Look at how dark the bushpigs are in our area, on blaser93's photo.

Thanks for sharing!
