 South Africa has some of the world's finest wing shooting, still relatively undiscovered and available at a reasonable price. The bird shooting area is located in the Northern Cape Province near Kimberley, and the Free State near Bloemfontein, 4 hours south of Johannesburg Airport.
Our exclusive ranch borders the Vaal river where the waterfowl population is unequalled by any other area in South Africa. A malaria free zone.
 Birds Available
Swainson Francolin, Red Necked Francolin, Guinea Fowl, Spur Winged Goose, Egyptian Goose, Teal, Yellow Billed Duck, White Faced Duck, Shoveler Duck, Rock Pigeon, Red Eyed Dove, Cape Turtle Dove, Laughing Dove. Our English game management techniques have vastly improved the Francolin and Guinea Fowl The Duck and Goose shooting on our flight ponds is now producing in excess of 100 waterfowl per evening.
Geese
 Goose shooting is done mainly on peanut fields on morning flights, and evening flights into roosting grounds, but also early mornings and evenings on their natural flight paths. Some large bags can be taken on these outings as there are vast quantities of geese causing major problems on arable land.
Shooting season is from May to August.
Ducks
Ducks are shot on flight ponds in the morning and evening. Shooting season is from May to August.
 Doves and Pigeons
This is some of the most exciting and challenging shooting available anywhere in the world equally on a par with Argentina, but at a more reasonable cost. Guns can shoot bags of over 400 birds depending on ability and stamina. We try to vary our bird shooting to cover most of the species available. Doves and pigeons are shot on fields where they are feeding, usually sunflowers or maize. There is no season or bag limit but the optimum time is March to July
 Francolin and Guinea Fowl
Francolin and Guinea Fowl can be walked up or driven as with English Partridge and Pheasants. Hunting is from May - August The wing shooting can be incorporated with Plains game hunting and river or lake fishing and extended from 5 to 14 days if desired.
Guns and Ammunition
Your British SGC must be taken as it will be required at the airport. All guns must be transported in hard carrying cases. You will need 12 or 20 gauge shot guns. Cartridges are available for purchase once you have reached your destination. |
