Hunting oppertunities 2013
Hello Guys
Does anyone have any contacts for fairly priced Eland or Blackwildebeest in the Free State ?
I am a biltong hunter and it is starting to get hard to get fair prices. Seems like a lot of farmers see anything with horns as an trohpy these days am I will appreciate any referals.

Not the Freestate, but Eland bull at R7500, google Motswiri Lodge. They are north of Zeerust (North West), hunted there last year but was late in the season and the game was very wild. Go early if you want to use them.

Re: Hunting oppertunities 2013
I have seen price in the Free State for Blue wildebeest bulls ranging from R 3500 to R6500 (non-trophy)
and eland going up to R45 /kg.The farm were we normally hunt has wildebeest cows for R2500 and bulls for R3000 and it is only 25 km from where I stay which makes it good value for money. But these days you see more and more farms catering for the overseas market who pays in $.
I am happy to pay R 450 to R600 for a springbuck but springbuck for R 1k+ come on that is just daylight robbery.
I do understand it is largely supply and demand but some farmer are just way out to expensive

Hi Nico,
I found a guy close to Heilbron who has some fair prices for SWB IMO. Not sure where in the States you're from if Heilbron is close to you. PM me if you're interested. Not sure if he has Eland though
