So in early April before our we could get into bush we headed across the pond to South Africa. We were hosted by with PH/owner Mark Commins, .maartens .I didn’t bring my own fi****ms on this trip , but Mark had me covered with his highly customized 300 PRC. It was a truly amazing journey as we travelled from Pietermaritzburg to Kwazulu-Natal for first part of hunt. This area is an all free range and truly rugged low fence area. . From there we headed back to The Midlands for some more action with my second experience with Thermal hunting for jackal while calling them in. Very cool. From there we moved to The Free State which can be very deceiving. It has immense flat areas which then abruptly change into small mountains that rise to around 6000 feet. I got to see a fantastic variety of game and areas on this trip. It was an amazing experience and if anyone wants to talk about planning a trip , feel free to contact us as this will definitely not be our last trip! Already looking forward to our return trip.

As I couldn’t add videos and pictures at same time here are the pictures….. my available skills on social media need some upgrading. Lol
Found this fella while out baiting. He was checking a nearby bait site in the snow. As you can see from the snow and ice on lake Mother Nature wants to keep early season baiting as difficult as possible. All in the enjoyment of being a bear hunting outfitter. Won’t be long now until anxious hunters are taking up residence . Good luck to all the hunters in the bush.
