Has anyone any feedback on this outfit as a local fella here is seriously looking at them for Kudu up?
And advice + or - is helpful.

Sorry don't know them, but their hunting area looks impressive for the size and also reported as un-high fenced. Unusual for much for South Africa.

Quote:

We hunt mainly in the Leopard's Valley Wildlife Conservancy consisting of 6 landowners and 32 000Ha (80 000 acres) of UNFENCED hunting area. This gives us the opportunity of managing our wildlife resources to increase better game quality. This is added to our existing neighbouring concessions of 42 000 acres of unfenced private game reserve, and 2 other private reserves each being 37 000 acres of abundant game, including free roaming Big 5. This gives us a total hunting area of 190 000 acres of adjacent areas. These properties have most of the 30+ hunt able species of Southern Africa within an hours drive of the Main Lodge.

These properties exclude the approximately 100 000 acres in the Coastal Grahamstown area of the Eastern Cape as well as Northern Cape, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and South Africa's Northern Province and Mpumalanga.

I already had a reference for Dave from the guys I hunted with down there, all good! Obviously it isnt all unfenced but certainly some or a lot of it.

Does he want Cape Kudu or Greater Kudu?

Is he particularly looking for free range?

Yes he wants to do free range only on the Greater K. He is not interested in a captive bull.

Correct me if I am wrong but Greater Kudu are not wild in the East Cape - more up in KZN. I think Dave hunts up there too. In any case 'from the research I have done' these are the only 2 companies I would trust on that score (free range). The mob I hunted with was Crusader Safaris. If the hunter says 'I am looking for free range' there is nothing more to be said.

If he wants a referal to Crusader I am happy to give it. Dave might be a bit cheaper than Crusader I think.
