One of the main reasons for our ability to continually reinvest and add habitat for our wildlife is the fact that we can entertain paying hunters who we responsibly guide to enjoy the outdoors in the form of hunting.
Bushpigs have proved to be a really sought after trophy and I am happy to declare that they too are thriving on Blaauwkrantz with its fantastic bushpig habitat - Our indigenous East Cape Valley Bushveldt.
The baiting process is tedious and complicated but bushpig hunters understand this,and then actually getting into position to succesfully shoot one is the other half of their pursuit.
A number of hunters were successful this year and a number were unsuccessful.
We often only talk about the successes but often forget those times we tried hard and failed. Hunters like Doc Meyer from Kansas, Bob Debowski -USA, Jose Sodiro-Argentina, Jeff Hogan-Utah, Linda Bell-Texas, Philip Basset-Michigan, Larry Muck-Missouri, Dr Ted Pawlias-Illinois and Jose Mercada-Bolivia all tried hard, but the Hunting Gods weren't with them and I am sure they will return to continue their pursuit of these hard-to-see animals in the future.
In the pictures are some of the lucky thirteen (!) hunters who successfully hunted 18 bushpigs on Blaauwkrantz in 2011. Randy Bell -Texas, John Blaine-Montana and Karl Evans-Texas are all very experienced African hunters who chose Blaauwkrantz as their bushpig destination.
Thanks to our habitat, Blaauwkrantz Safaris is arguably the leading bushpig Outfit.
