As everyone knows bushpigs are not a specie that is taken for granted when targeting them,but the following hunters had success:
The first was Christiaan Brendel from Cape Town who also shot a warthog within 12 hours of hunting his bushpig to set a new Blaauwkrantz Hogslam record for doing it in the shortist time ever.Christiaan completed a Hogslam in April 2011 too.Congratulations!
Second was Bert Major from Oklahoma.Bert incredibly shot a nice boar in broadlight at one of the baits.Great initiative taken there by Bert as I was still carrying gear to the blind when the pig came to the bait.
Jim Gefroh from Colorada came for only a bushpig and was successful after initially attempting to do it with his flintlock muzzleloader and getting the pigs to within 30 yards,but alas it was not to be this time around.Jim's old buddy,Kim Stuart,from California shot a true "bomber" that weighed 81kg's.Kim has hunted Africa for almost twenty years and this was his first bushpig.Congratulations Kim!
Jim and Kim hunted at Blaauwkrantz for the first time in 2001.Jim shot a warthog in 2001 with his flintlock muzzleloader then and wanted to try complete the Hogslam with a flintlock too,you can guess what brought them back...!Jim said that he will be back to try again with his flintlock.But congratulations to Jim in completing his Hogslam anyway!
Dr Peter Bucklin also from the US hunted with PH Paul Smith and also took a bushpig, but with hounds as they had some difficulty at the baits.
