RSA Report

Gold $$ Contributor
Tally for the the RSA hunt: non-trophies, cull hunt. Six springbok, three warthogs, three springhares, one rock rabbit (hyrax) and one guinea fowl. Van Der Kloof lake, one catfish. Richards Bay, one 30k yellowfin tuna and one 5k kawakawa (little eastern tuna). Two seventeen hour and four one hour plane rides.
 
My RSA hunt with 3S Safaris. Black wilderbeast, Blue wilderbeast, Red Letchwe, and Spring buck. Plane ride, ugh, 2+17+2.5 = 21.5 hours plus 2 hours car travel in RSA each way to/from airport. Had a great time even my wife liked it once she understood RSA.
 
Yep, the plane ride is a deal killer for many BUT compared to US trophy hunts, there is no comparison.
 
Took a side trip to Hluhluwe-iMfolozi game park & saw animals in their native environment. Signs warning visitors to not take walks were many. The reason was obvious.P1130275.JPG
