HUNTING & FISHING TOURS

Hi there everyone!  I see, for some crazy reason, Google has split my blogs into sections and published them on their 1st page.  Don't know what's up with that.  Please, also forgive the confusion of wacko adverts!  They are only supposed be in regards to toursim!  Don't know what a flat belly (that add seems to be ALL OVER THE PLACE!) and computor chips have to do with tours.  Anycase, let's see what's on todays menu.

     Hunting is not for everyone.  I, for one, do not believe in canned hunting.  If you want to hunt, hunt the good old fashioned way and don't be GREEDY! My first hunt was a red antelope in Phalaborwe.  I was shaking like a leaf, the force of the rifle nearly broke my collar bone and I felt so sorry for the poor animal once the deed was done.  I don't do trophy hunting, only for food. As the old saying goes : HUNT ONLY WHAT YOU NEED TO EAT!  In this case, most are trophy hunters.

*This is a great site to visit, as it covers just about everything you need to know.  These hunting areas include Limpopo, Kalahari, Eastern Cape, Eastern Free State & The Lowveld.
*Rifle and bow hunting.  You can hunt the Big 5 or plain game (mostly buck).  Book in advance for Big 5 hunting as permits must be obtained.  Trophy hunters are charged a daily rate + cost per trophy.
*Pick-up and drop-off at O.R. Tambo airport.  Various hunting packages available.  Prices from $3000-$8000.  Don't have a heart-attack!  These prices include : accomodation, food, land transport, service of professional hunters, laundry, field preperations of trophies and moderate liquor.
*Accomodations vary from tents to luxury chalets.
*Here comes a shocker  :  trophy fees =  $200 - $19 500!  A long list of all animals plus prices is provided on the website provided.  As well as full details of rifles, calibers, taxidermy, and what to bring on safari.
