Mark C writes to his PH Greg:
 It has been very busy around here the last month trying to catch up from being gone but I have to say that it was worth every bit of extra work I am having to do now. I thought I had done my homework and pretty much knew what to expect in this hunt, but I have to admit it was so much more than that. I do feel that you were responsible for a lot of it though. You seem to be very passionate about hunting and dedicated to getting your clients onto quality animals. I really appreciate all the extra work you did to get me into a position to take some of those types of animals, especially the extra time and effort we put into getting the Nyala. I was very impressed at the number of times you had me hold off on animals saying, “We can do better than that.” You were always right, and I trusted you and your rifle. That was an awesome shooting gun. The two of you held up your end of the deal, and I pretty much did except for the first evening when I was not paying attention and we came across that nice Kudu. I felt bad about that, and told myself I would not let that happen again.
I am very anxious to get my animals back and get started on mounting them. I will definitely send you pictures of them as I finish them up.
Thanks again for an awesome hunt. I am already thinking of maybe a return trip in 2 to 3 years. If I do end up coming back, I would really like to have you as a guide again.
Take care and I hope we cross paths again someday in the future.

General information:
Hunting Africa is the lifelong dream of many sportsmen. We have
designed our packages to bring Africa within reach of everyone. This
hunt takes place in the Eastern Cape area of South Africa. This is a
region of varied terrain from fertile valleys to steep mountains. It is
home to large numbers of game. The Karoo is cattle and sheep country
much like the American South West. Many of the farmers allow us to
manage game on their property for extra income. Eighty percent of our
hunting takes place on the open range with standard cattle and sheep
fencing. The other twenty percent is on high fence ranches. Certain
species can only be hunted year round in a high fence area, thus we need
to use these properties as well.
All of our hunting is strictly fair
chase. Our primary method is spot and stalk. We have blinds and tree
stands as well and hunt with rifle, bow, pistol and black powder. We
have farms designated bow only. We do not hunt from vehicles or in pens!
Also we are not tied to one property. Our home farm of 5000 acres serves
as a base from which we access over 250,000 acres of prime hunting land
leased exclusively by us.
Trophy quality is guaranteed because of our
trophy game management policies. Only mature animals are taken and a
limited quota is set for each property. This allows a large number of
animals on the land and also gives them time to mature into the quality
trophies you seek. Our animals are all natural production and not bought
at action and stocked. Our exclusive leases with landowners assures that
we are the only ones taking the prime specimens off their properties.
Seasons are reversed in South Africa from North America. May-August is
winter and temperatures can get quite cold. Perfect hunting weather! Nov
through March has warm to hot days followed by warm evenings. We usually
hunt early and late this time of year with plenty of time to relax
during the day.
On our hunts you will be accompanied by a certified professional
hunter. This will be either one client and one PH or two clients and one
PH depending on how you want it. We NEVER mix groups! Even if there is
only one of you, you will have exclusive use of the lodges during your
hunt and not be mixed with hunters that you do not know. We have four
different lodges at our disposal and often move between them depending
on what species you are hunting. As stated above we are not tied to one
property like many other operations and can move to were the best
specimens of the species you are hunting are located.
Our lodges vary from an authentic bush lodge with thatched roof cabins
to a very comfortable former South African farm house with all the
modern convinces. Africa is literally out the front door. All meals will
be prepared by our staff and include many wild game dishes as well as
homemade salads and deserts. You will not go hungry! We include all soft
drinks, juices, water and tea and coffee as well as local beer and
wines. We pride ourselves on offering not only a great hunt but also a
complete experience including great food, good company and many
additional features that others charge extra for.
Non-hunters are more than welcome! We encourage our clients to bring
their families and offer a non hunting rate that reflects this. If your
non hunter does not want to follow you in the field many optional tours
can be arranged. We have many opportunities from camera safari to spas
and golf. We will be glad to put together an exciting program of day
trips from the lodge for the non hunter.
Additional animals can be taken on all of our packages according to
the following trophy prices. All additional animals are to be paid for
in South Africa in cash or travelers checks. As always all animals wounded
but not recovered must be paid for in full.

TAXIDERMY
The question of taxidermy always come up with any hunting package. We have our own in-house taxidermy shop that you will be able to visit on your hunt. It is located at our Kudu Lodge. We only work on animals from our hunters and do not take in outside work. Your trophies never leave our possession so we are able to supervise them at every stage of the taxidermy process. There are two basic ways most animals are processed. First you can have the animals dipped, packed and shipped to your taxidermist back home. This process brings the completely dried hides and cleaned skulls to your facility were the maintaining process will begin. It takes around 3-4 months. The second option is to have the animals mounted by us and then shipped directly to you. This process takes between 9-12 months. Trophies are ready to go up on the wall when they arrive. Which ever option you choose we have a logistics firm that will handle all the shipping and paperwork for the process so you will not be bothered with all the details. Prices below are for the taxidermy services ONLY and do not include the crating, shipping, brokers, etc. You will get a final quote on these services once the animals are ready to ship. As hunters ourselves we realize how important the taxidermy process is to the overall experience of the hunt. Having our own facility to process your trophies allows us total control over the entire hunt so we can assure our clients nothing but the best in quality and service! Feel free to call us with any questions at any time as well as for updates on your mounts. Unlike many others where you would be dealing with a taxidermist who you never met and who can be difficult to get a hold of in a different country, you can call us on the toll free (888-710-9453) any time and we will answer questions and be able to get updates on your trophies as well as be at your side during the shipping process.
Hunt well!
