Sometimes during these hunting shows some info come under my attention, and I think it is important to share. I therefore will share this post on as many applicable forums as possible. No names no drill needed, but take note of the following: The only provinces where you can legally hunt Serval are: Limpopo, Mpumalanga, North West and Natal Folks it is 100% illegal to shoot a Serval in the Free State, unless your Outfitter gets a special permit. Therefore to hunt one with hounds are NOT permitted. How badly you want to do that you will be in violation of a South African law, and might be in contravention of the Lacey Act in the USA. I stand to be corrected on the Lacey Act. There are legal ways to hunt them, just make sure that it is. A Good Starting point is the following. The permits are ALL valid for 30 days. Ask your Outfitter, before you go on the hunt, for a copy of your permit. Sadly that will be only a couple of days before your departure. Look on the permit for the following detail: 1. Name of the Outfitter 2. Name of the Professional Hunter 3. Method of take (hunt/rifle/etc.) 4. Province This way at least you know for sure if the hunt is legal or not. I do not believe there is one Outfitter that will not refund your deposit if called out on this type of BS. The biggest problem in our "industry" is that clients trust Outfitters to do the right thing. And sadly there are Outfitters that will do or say anything for a buck or two. Hunt with a reputable outfit, and check your references. AR is about as good a place to ask about people as anywhere else. Good hunting!

I appreciate your input, I think I was the one whom you talked to at the show and have since been in contact with the outfitter to make sure he will have a permit. | |||

Charl is a straight shooter with the information and one that you can rely on.  By the way, I shot my Serval with him on my Bucket List Hunt a number of years ago. Great hunt which resulted in me taking Serval, Honey Badger, Caracal, Vaal Rheebok, Blue Duiker, Bush Pig, Spotted Hyena, Oribi, and Cape Bushbuck.  | |||

Thank you for posting this here. Reminds everyone to make sure they only hunt with a reputable professional hunter and outfitter. How is a client to know what is legal and what is not?? One of the benefits of asking here about anything you are not sure off. Straight, truthful answers. Not clouded by moderators protecting advertisers! | |||
