South African Mixed Bag






Been meaning to post a few pics from my South African bird hunt. Don't have any great stories, nor the story telling abilities of CB. Al Stewart, Michigan's Upland Game Bird Biologist, and I hunted for 2 days in the Durbanville area of the Western Cape. All told we harvested 7 different species: Helmeted Guineafowl, Cape Francolin, Rock Dove, Cape Turtle-Dove, Egyptian Geese, Spur-wing Geese, and Hottentot Teal.

Will try and post some more information later this evening.

Nice Safari Jim! Did you borrow the gun? bring your own? decoy the waterfowl? Call them? Ambush them? dog work? C'mon we need details!!

Did you have a nice trip otherwise? I hope Roger et al are doing well. Local perspective on Zim?

Slim Jim, welcome back. Now, make sure you send in your check for your Wicksall Dogge.
Which of he critters was the best eating - Hottentot?
Are you going to get the Rock Dove mounted?? Looking forward to your stories.
