Hi kane hows it going the game farm i went to was called ilanga nature reserve the animals have free range of about 5000 acres there are 20 different species on the farm i got a waterbuck a wildabeast and an impala the hunting is hard the animals are right on to u they look in the blinds trying to see u blink if u get the bow back and they are still their u have done well its awesome and i cant wait to go back. I'll get their web adress for u if u want to have a look if u wanted to go for one person i reckon including everything air fare the lot it would be about 5000 depending on what animals u shot for about 10 days hunting.

Hey dss. What Bow/ Arrow set up were you using, what pound was your bow set at and the distances that you were shooting at.
Cheers, Kane.
