hi grant
the trip came about when dricus my guide came to england looking for work and ended up at the farm i worked at , from there i took him stalking , lamping and pigeon shooting , he had a marvelous time aswell as did a bit of work too
the farm in SA was run by his uncle and the nearest tow was a few mile down the valley called tarkastad.the area i belive was i the top of the karoo on a mountain range called the winterberg or as some locals called it kudu valley so from my generosity of free shooting and fishing aswell as letting keep what he shot , dricus arranged this fantastic trip for me and the brother inlaw
the whole trip cost £1850 including flights the only extras were the wine and port we bought while on the trip for our own cosumption
i can't tell you the total bag of the hunt as there was bird shooting and lamping most nights for 14 days we were out there
other species shot included baboon, cape fox and porcupine as they caused havoc killing the chickens ,goats ,sheep and often killed a few cattle (calves) as this was a struggling hill farm
the whole farm was sheep fenced so allowing the wild antelope to roam free , sometimes we saw huge herds of kudu and reed buck the next day they were on the neighbours ground , lucky for us we could stalk that as well
