We still have a few of these packages available. Great free range Hippo hunt. Feel free to add to this package.

Yes Louis. In the light of the recent ban on Hippo hunts in Limpopo that was lifted, can you please also list who the Dangerous Game Outfitter and PH will be as well as the exemption number of the property. We were informed NO free range Hippo was to be hunted in Limpopo. It caused quite a row in our world up there so would just like some clarification.With many thanks!

Charl,
Who is Louis?

Ag sorry Dave! I was talking to Louis Beukes on Whatsaap just before i typed this question to you. Devided attention sorry

Marius....Charl. I'm Marius

My apologies for the confusion. Just a small technicality, which was my own mistake. My initial post included a Cape Buffalo hunt, which was followed by a post for a Cape Buffalo/Hippo Combo hunt, which was followed by this stand alone hunt. The mistake was more a copy and paste error. The error was duplicated. The Cape Buffalo is in the Limpopo, but we then travel to Mpumalanga for the Hippo.

The Hippo are hunted along about 24km(15 Miles) of the Crocodile river, which runs through numerous properties.

I am more than willing to post the Mpumalanga Outfitter and PH numbers, as well as photos of the successful hunts, should anybody require me to do so.

No worries Marius.......The Dave things was a joke....

Any case Jasper and Robby being to two blokes offering those hunts down there are good blokes. No need to post any of that. Our clients trust us in any case. Just wanted to straighten this out. Sorry if it sounded tongue in the cheek....it was not the intention.

I just know the only Hippo allowed on Limpopo are on Reserves/Ranches. I sit on the EXECUTIVE of the LHLF and there was a BIG row earlier this year when they refused to issue us quota to market because some dodgy Outfitter shot Hippo's in the rivers but logged them as shot on Reserves.......

Wanted to make sure no one steps in it.....You boys down there have NO idea how much we are regulated up here now!

No worries Charl. Heard about that exact incident.
Hope they've been dealt with.

Best Regards,
Dave

Marius as mentioned elsewhere this was unprofessional and short sighted from me. I should have PM'ed you with the question. Hippos is just a very sensitive topic with me at the moment. Your reputation is above reproach and I offer herewith my formal apology.

Apology accepted Charl.

All the best for the season.

You two have taught us all a lesson on professional courtesy with this public exchange. My compliments to you both.
