Hunters Prey Safaris

Things don’t always go according to plan, but that’s hunting—and it’s all about staying patient and never giving up.

Perry made a low shot on this waterbuck bull, so we backed out and gave him the time he needed instead of pushing him any further.
After lunch, we returned to the shot site, found blood, and put the dogs to work.
It wasn’t long before they picked up the trail. Deep in the thick bush, they bumped the bull, and the chase led all the way to a pond where he thought the water would be his escape. Perry stayed calm and finished the hunt with a precise neck shot.
A great recovery and another reminder of how valuable well-trained tracking dogs are. They never disappoint and continue to prove why they’re such an important part of every successful hunt.
Well done, Perry—and outstanding work from the dogs!

Sometimes patience is the key to success.

We first spotted this mature kudu bull from a long distance and carefully planned our approach, slowly closing the distance while staying in the same bush line as the herd. As we moved in, we found the kudu cows bedded down in the thick cover. Perry got on the shooting sticks, patiently waiting for the bull to step into an opening. The bull only exposed his horns, never offering a clear shot at his shoulder.

Then the wind shifted, and at just 80 yards the herd caught our scent and took off.

We stayed calm and watched as they moved through the thicket, waiting for them to step into a clearing. When the opportunity finally came, Perry made an excellent shot at approximately 250 yards, bringing a beautiful kudu bull to the ground.

A challenging stalk, plenty of patience, and a well-earned trophy to remember.

Scott and I spotted a good Impala ram at about 700m and planed our stalk and wind nice though the thick valley. Scott took the shot at 25meters Definitely one hell of a stalk to remember and a very good Impala ram.

After some much-needed rain, we headed out with Perri in search of a cull ostrich. The fresh conditions made for a beautiful day in the veld, it wasn't long before we spotted the right bird.

With a steady rest and plenty of patience, Perri lined up for a long shot at 210 meters. The shot rang out, and the ostrich dropped cleanly, an excellent display of marksmanship.

A successful hunt, great memories, and another day well spent in the African bush. Congratulations, Perri, on a fantastic shot and a well-earned cull ostrich!

Kudu Management Bull Hunt

This old Kudu management bull was a perfect example of an animal that would likely not have made it through the winter. With declining condition and age catching up to him, he was selected as a management animal.

The hunt started with an exciting stalk on a bull high up in the mountains. We carefully worked our way into position, but like many old kudu bulls, he managed to slip away and disappear into the rugged terrain.

Later, we spotted the management bull and took the opportunity. The first shot unfortunately struck the leg, and with daylight fading fast, we made the difficult decision to back out and continue the search the following morning.

At first light, we picked up the tracks and began following them through the mountains. The spoor eventually led us to a steep cliff edge. It became clear that after the shot, the bull had attempted to escape through the rough terrain, but in doing so had jumped from the cliff and broken his neck.

While the recovery wasn't the ending we had planned for, it was a reminder of just how tough and resilient kudu can be. The mountains always have the final say, and this old bull gave us a hunt we won't soon forget.
