In South Africa the 1st of May is not only Labour Day and a public holiday. It marks the opening of the official hunting season.
Rifles have been zeroed on shooting ranges, hunting bows checked and re-checked, ammunition bought, knifes sharpened. In the South African hunting fraternity best shot placement on the different animals has been discussed again and again, calibre and load for the hunt, the menus worked out for the campfire food.
Even bookings have been made in advance and deposits paid. But some of the hunters haven’t booked yet. They don’t know where to go and who to contact. This may prove usefull: (click on) Limpopo Hunting gives a list of hunting destinations with contact detail.
