Re: 2017 hunt ideas.
One @hole always seems to mess things up for other people with good intentions. A way round this is possibly a non- refundable deposit on making a commitment.
Years ago we had a very good relationship with the owner of a well known game lodge in KZN that catered mainly for hunters from Europe. The deal included 7 days accommodation, days fees, guides and 2 buck all for R2000 per week.
Allowed game included, any bushbuck ram, penkop impala, and blesbok that needed culling.
The idea was to cull "unwanted game" and provide staff with an income during quieter periods. 1 bushbuck per hunter was a concession made because we were "friends"
One of our hunting group arranged a trip with his buddies. He booked for a large group. The trip fell through at short notice and he did not even bother to inform the lodge.
Needles to say we were never invited back.

Re: 2017 hunt ideas.
5 large tomatos
3 onions.
Chopped finely.
1 rooibok heart, cubed
1 rooibok liver. Deveined and cubed.
1 cup water.
Only salt and pepper, and 1 or 2 chillies.
Slowly cook heart and veg like potjie, for 3 hours. Add water as needed. Add cubed liver, and raise temp slightly. Cook for 1 more hour. You start to make the pap when you add the liver. When it's done squeeze 1 lemon in there and mix.
Serve with pap.
I prefer clean tastes. You can add rosemary, cloves, thyme for more tastes. Perhaps garlic as well, but 1st try it as is. Game liver is nothing like shop liver.

2017 hunt ideas.
If you use bigger game, use more tomato and onion. You roughly want equal parts veg and meat.

Re: 2017 hunt ideas.
I have just come across this thread. I have gotten my license for my rifle but now need to do my first hunt. Any advise for a novice as where and when to go? I am in Cape Town, so preferably, somewhere close?

Re: 2017 hunt ideas.
To make a group hunt more probable it may enhance the chances of more hunters to actually join and not to drop other participants by giving your hunt a theme/ dedicated type of hunt like the 1882 Era black powder hunt we do every year with a set group of members..like only walk and stalk hunt, no one shoots from a vehicle... camping and not staying in a lodge..camping will get you to experience a lot more than hunting alone... Non-refundable deposit a month before the hunt is another good idea, dividing different tasks for every one will ensure more dedication as well...

Re: 2017 hunt ideas.
I'm up for a Kudu end July early August in the Eastern Cape. I'm prepared to join up with a group. Yes I'm not expecting guys to fall over to take me in cos I've been there. Our Northern Cape group took in a guy two years ago and had a nightmare experience so I understand the reluctance however I'm going to go try for that Kudu with or without a group. A group join would just be much more fun and an experience.
