Our business is providing holidays, and that means at any time of the year. It's a pleasure to host some Danish hunters here over the festive season. Conditions are extremely hot, but window periods early and late in the long days make for some good hunting. The pool makes the rest of the day bearable.
We have had some success taking some cull impala and a trophy lechwe already. Bushpig is also on the list so watch this space. 😉
South African Hunters are extremely lucky to be able to live and hunt in a country like South Africa. Choices for plains game destinations have never been better, and Blaauwkrantz Safaris competes with a huge variety in this market.
Bushpigs are of course a very sort after specie amongst local hunters as there are relatively fewer places that provide hunters with a realistic chance of targeting a trophy pig, especially over bait. Earlier this month it was a pleasure hosting Eddie Mortimer from Pretoria to take this bomber boar.
Eddie has hunted bushpigs in Natal with some other reknown bushpig guides but has never had the opportunity to take a big boar. Blaauwkrantz provided that opportunity in the full moon when Eddie made a fantastic shot in the moonlight with his 30-06 loaded with a 220 grain PMP bullet. His illuminated reticle helped him see the cross-hair in the dark to take aim on the 76kg pig.
Congratulations Eddie!
