Marius,

What's the drought situation down there and does it have an effect in your areas or others? Is the Karoo scorched?

One of the best investments a guy can make is in a better camera. Great images. Makes me want to go.

Tell us more about rifles used, calibers and insights about hunting there.

Hi Jeff,
It was just starting to get pretty dry, but we had some good rain during this week, which will bring some much needed greens. The karoo is historically drier than other parts, so they can certainly do with some more.
It is a little bit our of character to get rains this early, but we are not complaining. We've had some frosty weather this last week with some snow on our surrounding mountains, which makes great conditions for Vaal Rhebuck... smile

Believe it or not, this was taken with my phone. It has two Leica cameras, and it outperforms my Nikon SLR any day of the week.

This hunter used my .300Win Mag, which is suppressed. In the Eastern Cape, a flat shooting calibre is useful, such as a 30-06 with 165gr, or .308Win with 150's. Ranges typically will be between 60 yds - 250yds, as this is generally the distance between the valley faces. Most of the rifles here are suppressed, and everyone that has used them, has only found the experience positive. Saves the ears big time, and reduces the recoil by about 40%.
I'm sure some of the photos will show the rifles with the suppressors.
New images of next hunters will be up tomorrow.... smile

Great photos, Marius. Thanks for posting.

Am hearing stuff about the politics there in RSA, something like Rhodesia in years past. Govt. displacing white farmers, giving land to natives.

That didn't work, hasn't worked in other places. What's the status there; what are you seeing and what's the time frame?

Hi DF,
Thank you for the message. Timeframe of what sir?
Just like previous years, I explained that the US media takes a story and runs with it. Nothing is happening here. Its business as usual.

Thanks for that update.

Listening to our MSM, you'd think you guys were hunkered down, waiting for the ax to fall.

Good to hear. May it stay that way.

Its the Huawei P20. They come out with a twin Leica camera at 20MP. I dont even carry a normal camera anymore, as they just can't compete with this.
All of these photos are stock standard. Zero editing, or filters or anything like that.

My youngest blood tracking dog getting on the wrong end of a wounded Bushbuck. You can see he was not happy being left behind for the next safari.

Rigby was charged during August. He's back on the horse and has completed safaris after that one. Very lucky dog.

Hi Ken,
It was a non-exportable hunt so we have not received any word back on the weight of the tusks. Since it was in South Africa, it would have been in the 30lbs range as stipulated by protocol.

Best Regards,
Marius

Thanks Marius. From the pictures the tusks look bigger than that. I am a beginner when it comes to guessing the weight of elephant tusks.

Are your elephant hunts in South Africa near Kruger National Park?

Hi Ken,
This was in the APNR, which are private reserves open to the Park, yes.
