First Bushking for 2017 crowned.

Congratulations to Danish Hunter Martin Rosenberg who shot a fine bushpig boar last week making him the first Blaauwkrantz Bushking for 2017.

Two things made this hunt remarkable, the first being that the pigs came to the bait well before dark (being mid summer it stays light till late), and the second was while driving to the bait, we spotted another chance encounter bushpig and Martin had a long shot but unfortunately missed.

Martin shot a very nice bushpig in 2015 too and found the experience so thrilling that he wanted to try again. He had another memorable bushpig hunt last week.

Congratulations!

South African Hunters choose Blaauwkrantz

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!
