Hunting

“Good, hard hunting and unforgettable camaraderie will last until I can return.”                                                                                                                                                                                   George Solhan

Adapting our hunting techniques to the abilities of our hunters, we can accommodate people of all ages and capabilities.  Most of our hunting is done, however, on the “walk and stalk” or “spot and stalk” methods.

We won’t push you past your physical limitations, so up your limits by getting in the best shape possible.

Depending on the kind of game you want to hunt, we advise that you plan for at least eight hunting days.

Although the official hunting season is from February to November, the best time for hunting is from late April to September due to temperature and weather.

 

Recommended clothing/equipment:

Good, broke-in leather boots

Thick socks and gaiters

The lightest calibre for plains game we advise to bring is .270 Win. For dangerous (excluding leopard) game the minimum requirement is .375 H&H.
