Craig Boddington returns after 30 years, targets bushpig at Blaauwkrantz

In July this year the much revered and legendary writer, Colonel Craig Boddington, visited Blaauwkrantz for the third time in 30 years to to target the elusive bushpig. Not only did he successfully hunt a good boar in the waxing moonlight using his Leopold illuminated reticuled scope, but he also shot two magnificent East Cape Kudu and and a very nice Cape bushbuck. The Colonel also took a great old warthog to complete the Blaauwkrantz Hogslam. The stand out moment of the trip was when he commented that there are very few places in Africa that have actually improved in hunting quality over 30 years. This in my opinion is attributed to the private property principle that most of South Africa and Namibia ascribes to.
