First off, I'm new here and would like to say hello.
Secondly, I'm not an expert on Safaris. However, I do know about that particular one. That's because I was there.
It was a fantastic hunt. Very enjoyable. Very professional.
It was not a canned hunt. I won't go on a canned hunt and made that clear before paying my money. Yes, it is private property but the animals are not caged, they roam freely, as wild as any you will hunt. South Africa is very much like North America, very little to be hunted on very little public land. Almost all the land is private or corporate.
Also, that concession is frickin' huge. Over 11,000 hectares. Heck it covers more land than many towns. It's open hills as far as you can see. But, yes, there is power lines. South Africa is a modern country and they do have electricity. Most of the line were along the perimeter of the property.
As for the pictures, all of these animals were killed on different parts of the concession. Yes, there were non-hunters in one picture. That was at the lodge where we were staying and they were on a photo safari (they stayed in the hooch next to ours). The picture was made there because Ed had left his camera in the hooch that morning and we made the pic at the lodge (hence power lines and people).
We damn sure stalked far enough to get our shots too. That's what I wanted, no truck hunts and they don't do truck hunts. And I will gladly use them again for another overseas hunt. I am a very pleased customer!
