Great write up!
It makes me want to take that 24 hour plane ride a third time.
Gert,
I salute you and your folks for all you have done here! First to conduct such a hunt in the first place and second to go to the work of documenting it and third going to the additional effort to share it here on this forum. What a treat!
I hope that all you kind salt of the earth folks are able to do this activity in perpetuity in your country you love so very much.
God bless and good hunting

Very interesting! Well done sir! My mouth waters every time I see the bread pictures
Due to the price of primers, warning shots will no longer be given!
WOW awesome, awesome job. That would truely be the hunt of a lifetime.
You must have been there quite awhile.
Mastag, nou is ek spyt dat ek maar hard probeer het om ook te gaan nie, ma ja ek het ook nie al die ou goed wat nodig is om te “Kwalifiseer” nie...
Miskien volgende keer...
Dankie vir die post.
Groetnis
Ferdi
Okay, translation please.
..
wait, I think I read "Thank you for the post", but that's about it.
Holymoly, I really regret that I did not put more effort into joining in on this hunt, but I donÂ’t have enough old stuff to qualify anyhow....
Maybe next time....
Thanks for the post
Regards
Ferdi
(Ps, I forgot to mention that I don’t walk deliciously because I forspouted my single and hit my skinnymare on a carrot of a tree while having to crawl in to the hole of an ironpig attempting to hide from a angry hunting lazy horse that thought I wanted to have her smalls, on a camel horse hunt because the **** patrons of my double walk hail gun failed to go off....)

I cant think of a better hunt then that , for me that would be the hunt of a lifetime looks like great fun with some classic firearms... WOW .
Ferdi, jy is meer as welkom , die manne wat die eerste keer die jag bywoon het ook nie almal al die regte klere en ou goed nie..solank jy `n swart kruit geweer het wat die era reflekteer en jy het kennis rakende die lewenstyl van die ou Boere jagters en ken darem geskiedenis van daardie tyd kan jy deelneem...die beperking is maar meestal die hoeveelheid jagters wat ons prakties kan akkomodeer ...
Members, you are more than welcome to participate in these hunts ..I invited a German, Georg Poppel and he said it was a great adventure , his wife accompanied him and she loved it...
An awesome post with great photos. Many thanks for sharing your traditional vintage hunt! (And I envy your cast iron cookware ... I love cast iron.)
I may have passed my "Best Before" date, but I haven't reached my "Expiry" date!
Members, I am looking for six Black Powder hunters who want to participate in such a hunt as seen in this thread. It will be in 2023, during the first two weeks of May 2023. Please let me know if there are members who are interested in such a hunt, there will be Buffalo available to hunt as well.
