Why I Hunt
- By GdP

I often get asked “how can you do what you do?”. I have been hunting for many years and over time, come to a realisation that unless proper conservation though ethical hunting gets enforced onto hunters and wildlife conservationists, sustainable utilization of natural recourses will take a slow death in Southern Africa, which in turn […]

I had the privilege of guiding Caleb Dos Santos on his first Hunt. At 13 years young he is one of the most competent hunters i have guided. This is what he had to say “My name is Caleb and I will soon be 13 years old. My interest in hunting started in 2017 after […]

The rain has not arrived yet and the whole of South Africa has been flung into a drought. The temperatures saw during the day but still no rain, the wind has and still is blowing a gail but still no rain. This has put an extraordinary amount of pressure on the game and live stock […]
Wonderful October

Boarding a Sling 4 to fly to Hoedspruit in is a very interesting experience as it is a small plane, being the PH on a dangerous game hunt you need to pack a bit more than the clients. After my one piece of luggage, rifle, ammo camera and laptop we were pretty much at weight […]

Damm that I wanted to share with you all… I hope our Hunting associations like SCI, DCS, PHASA etc start working together on on positive PR for the hunting industry.
