Hunting Season open in South Africa

Fortunately winter does not spoil the weather all over South Africa. In some places we survive in shorts and t-shirts. Summer blessed us this year with amazing amounts of rain and the bush is alive with teeming life. To utilise the space optimally some pruning of the herds is required and culling is at the order of the day. And here I sit in front of a computer while I should be out there getting some meat for the pot. And don't forget the Biltong!

You know I wish I had a better camera and the one I have may just have to do. And if we can justify it then we may as well rent good equipment which has all the associated advantages like having the latest and greatest gear at our disposal. Other house members may find a great shot of that beautiful beast easier to deal with on the wall than another trophy.

Lets get out there! In exchange for some meat and opportunity to shoot it I'll be glad to take care of the details around camp including the cooking, cleaning and whatever else may be required like packing and unpacking etc. Although I cant tender my services as professional hunter or professional photographer I am competent at both. So, how many people will we be? Any dietary concerns? What are the culinary preferences? Who are our camp mates? Where will they come from? Anything else I should know?

To process and develop photographs I will need at least two weeks afterwards depending off-course on how many we took. I love what I can do Photoshop.

Where will we go then? There is abundant game available all over the country so we can choose a spot based on the weather conditions you prefer. Other considerations may be the type of game or trophy you are looking for. So let me know your desires and I will organise the rest.

Now that I tender myself like this I wonder about that first and last warthog I shot. Are they really that difficult to slaughter or did my tutors let me suffer through it on purpose?
