Wish I were going! Maybe some day? Sounds like a fabulous trip.
Socialism is almost the worst.

What do you guys do with all the birds? Cook them up and eat them or have a few mounted? They look like big birds, meaning you need to have a big appetite. If you mount a few does the outfitter provide that service?

Kiri gets the BBQ going and we eat a good number of the birds, any excess forms part of the bird boys' wages. They take them to the townships and sell them. Or swap them for favours with the local ladies. Apparently a spurwing goose makes you very attractive.

Apparently a spurwing goose makes you very attractive. Interesting how one dead bird can make two fellas lucky . . . . For me, offering dead fowl to the lady of the house apparently has the opposite effect.
Such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.

If you mount a few does the outfitter provide that service? Most of ours were grilled up over the course of the hunt for lunches, and the remainder were sold in town by the bird boys. I will be receiving my mounts in a couple of weeks. I had a Helmeted Guinea, Orange River Partridge, Grey Wing Partridge,Swainsons Spurfowl, Egyptian Goose, Red Billed Teal, and a Yellow Billed duck mounted. Can't wait to see them!

Where in South Africa will you be hunting. I have a daughter that lives in George that I have visited and hunted in various locations in the country. It is a beautiful place and many variations in landscape and game.

Would love to see you guys offer an African hunt focused primarily on waterfowl one of these years.
