I have been on numerous guided hunts in the states but this was by far the best. James has a great operation and great people. I will definitely be returning in a few years. I would be going back sooner, but I am going all out with my taxidermy and getting several full body mounts done, so I will obviously be spending a few extra bucks. Believe it or not, with all of the animals I hunted, the springbuck was my favorite. There was something about this little guy that just intrigued me. When I return I will have to shoot the black, white and golden for a grand slam. Ed, please feel free to use me as a reference for the Africa hunt. And just some info for you if you use me as a reference - I hunted kudu, impala, blesbuck, springbuck, bushbuck, blue wildebeest, zebra, warthog, bushpig and duiker, hunting on 9 different farms. Thanks for a great hunt. Brian Jan H reports: Ed, We've been back since Tues, Aug 12. We had a fantastic trip; the hunt was great. I got gemsbok, impala, springbok, bushbuck, and blesbok. Brian shot kudu, wildebeest, impala, bushbuck, and blesbok. Brian is psyched and ready to go again. Our PH is a great hunting machine! The entire trip minus the flight over and back was A++++++. If you ever need references, have them contact me. Thanks again for making all of this possible. Jan H For the ladies perspective: Hi Ed, Well our long-awaited trip to South Africa has come to an end and... Click here to read more Lodging photos - Click on a photo below to enlarge: General information: Hunting Africa is the lifelong dream of many sportsmen. We have designed our packages to bring Africa within reach of everyone. This hunt takes place in the Eastern Cape area of South Africa. This is a region of varied terrain from fertile valleys to steep mountains. It is home to large numbers of game. The Karoo is cattle and sheep country much like the American South West. Many of the farmers allow us to manage game on their property for extra income. Eighty percent of our hunting takes place on the open range with standard cattle and sheep fencing. The other twenty percent is on high fence ranches. Certain species can only be hunted year round in a high fence area, thus we need to use these properties as well. All of our hunting is strictly fair chase. Our primary method is spot and stalk. We have blinds and tree stands as well and hunt with rifle, bow, pistol and black powder. We have farms designated bow only. We do not hunt from vehicles or in pens! Also we are not tied to one property. Our home farm of 5000 acres serves as a base from which we access over 250,000 acres of prime hunting land leased exclusively by us. Trophy quality is guaranteed because of our trophy game management policies. Only mature animals are taken and a limited quota is set for each property. This allows a large number of animals on the land and also gives them time to mature into the quality trophies you seek. Our animals are all natural production and not bought at action and stocked. Our exclusive leases with landowners assures that we are the only ones taking the prime specimens off their properties. Seasons are reversed in South Africa from North America. May-August is winter and temperatures can get quite cold. Perfect hunting weather! Nov through March has warm to hot days followed by warm evenings. We usually hunt early and late this time of year with plenty of time to relax during the day. On our hunts you will be accompanied by a certified professional hunter. This will be either one client and one PH or two clients and one PH depending on how you want it. We NEVER mix groups! Even if there is only one of you, you will have exclusive use of the lodges during your hunt and not be mixed with hunters that you do not know. We have four different lodges at our disposal and often move between them depending on what species you are hunting. As stated above we are not tied to one property like many other operations and can move to were the best specimens of the species you are hunting are located. Our lodges vary from an authentic bush lodge with thatched roof cabins to a very comfortable former South African farm house with all the modern convinces. Africa is literally out the front door. All meals will be prepared by our staff and include many wild game dishes as well as homemade salads and deserts. You will not go hungry! We include all soft drinks, juices, water and tea and coffee as well as local beer and wines. We pride ourselves on offering not only a great hunt but also a complete experience including great food, good company and many additional features that others charge extra for. Non-hunters are more than welcome! We encourage our clients to bring their families and offer a non hunting rate that reflects this. If your non hunter does not want to follow you in the field many optional tours can be arranged. We have many opportunities from camera safari to spas and golf. We will be glad to put together an exciting program of day trips from the lodge for the non hunter.

We have our own in-house taxidermy shop that you will be able to visit on your hunt. It is located at our Kudu Lodge. We only work on animals from our hunters and do not take in outside work. Your trophies never leave our possession so we are able to supervise them at every stage of the taxidermy process. There are two basic ways most animals are processed. First you can have the animals dipped, packed and shipped to your taxidermist back home. This process brings the completely dried hides and cleaned skulls to your facility were the maintaining process will begin. It takes around 3-4 months. The second option is to have the animals mounted by us and then shipped directly to you. This process takes between 9-12 months. Trophies are ready to go up on the wall when they arrive. Which ever option you choose we have a logistics firm that will handle all the shipping and paperwork for the process so you will not be bothered with all the details. Prices below are for the taxidermy services ONLY and do not include the crating, shipping, brokers, etc. You will get a final quote on these services once the animals are ready to ship. As hunters ourselves we realize how important the taxidermy process is to the overall experience of the hunt. Having our own facility to process your trophies allows us total control over the entire hunt so we can assure our clients nothing but the best in quality and service! Feel free to call us with any questions at any time as well as for updates on your mounts. Unlike many others where you would be dealing with a taxidermist who you never met and who can be difficult to get a hold of in a different country, you can call us on the toll free (888-710-9453) any time and we will answer questions and be able to get updates on your trophies as well as be at your side during the shipping process. Hunt well! Ed Taxidermy Price List: Prices subject to government taxes/levies or prices beyond our control. Prices and programs are subject to change without notice. All prices quoted in US dollars.
