Hell I am unfit, unhealthy at the moment with some medical issues, can't walk on a safari as I used to for 30 KMs or more in 40 deg plus heat, old pathetic sad ![]() I hunted for one morning on a large canned plains game fenced place. Canned in that due to the drought they were feeding cattle pellets to the wild game off the back of trucks/baccies. I saw piles of empty pellet sacks. The PH saw me looking so decided to inform me and give me a choice. I decided to head back to the empty hills for real hunting. I had shot one zebra on the place. The game simply did not run away when seeing if hearing a vehicle. Dinner time! Another client in camp raved about how great his day was the day before. Shot so many animals ... Now I knew how. Ha ha I was polite and never said anything to him. Really sad to hunt game where it is intensively captive bred. And not wild. Sometimes wild game is less wary because it hasn't been hard hunted yet. That's normal. Conversely sometimes wild game is less stressed than high fenced hunting blocks. The bred animals bought from breeding pens is released at the beginning of the season. Harassed all season. When I am there at the end of the season the surviving game has wilded up and far less relaxed than intended true wild animals. It's chalk and cheese the difference between a true wild game broad hunting concession and a 2000 acre high fenced paddock. Andvenjoyment. Imo. |
