Condition Comments: |
Game was plentiful. This is game ranch country, so they will be able to find most of the plains game one is looking for. In this area, the trophy quality is lower than other areas of South Africa but so are the prices. For a Father-Son hunt where my 12 year old son was the primary hunter, this worked out better for us. |

SUMMARY
REMARKS |
|
| Problems
of Hunt: |
None |
| Highlights
of Hunt: |
My 12 year old son was the primary hunter on this trip. This requires a patient and easy going PH. And Abrie and Bertus fit this bill so to speak. They were great PHs for my son. And we had a successful and good trip. As the Father, I will remember it for a life time. |
| Equipment
Recommendations: |
This is game ranch country, so the hunting is fairly easy. In this area, which is dry, the game ranches tend to have lots of open spaces, which makes spotting the game easy. For someone looking for an easier hunt, this is a good choice. So, no special equipment required. |
