Eish, both my hunts fell through. We did not win the tender on the first (Eastern Cape) and the drought in the Karoo has put such a strain on the second farm that a hunt seems impossible at this stage. The farmer is feeding the gemsbokke.

So I know people struggle to give up their secrets, but maybe one or two of you has had too much to drink and will reveal a gem in a moment of weakness. I'm looking for the following:

1. Within nine hours drive of Johannesburg
2. Biltong
3. Wildebeest/kudu/hartebees and a vlakvark or two

I hope point two gives enough of a clue on the restricted budget. Please send me a PM if you do not want to post the information on an open forum.
