I AM NOT A PAID BOOKING AGENT! I do bring bowhunters over with me each year, mostly to help the outfitter and to meet new bowhunters.
I have 6 weeks blocked out for myself and figure that anyone who joins me will probably want to come for the standard 14 day hunt. You can hunt longer, if you wish.
I just returned from there and took 14 great critters this year. They have over 24 huntable species and management is geared towards QUALITY!
The ranches are HUGE...somewhere around 100,000 acres by 2007.
I have refences, many of whom are Tradgangers, photos, and full info in my web site (www.paulbrunner.net)
Email me at [email protected] and I can give you more details.

My hunt at Howard's was beyond belief. I have never seen anything like it. Heck, I took four BIG critters the last day of the hunt! I even quit an hour before dark...dumb thing to do, but I was out of arrows!
We need to get old baldy over there. He could wreck havoc with Howard's management program.

The hunter shot it through the heart with a .450 Marlin from 30 yards and the bull just charged flat out without warning. Andrew dropped it with his forth and last shot into the spine at 4 1/2 paces from the .416. The bull green scored 106" it would have been in the top 5 or six. Andrew saw and video'ed another bull the same size that we never got.
I do need to get back over and visit with Howard, I still want my shot at an eland!

The only other non-typical Kudu I have seen was a cow with horns shaped like an hour glass. I hunted her for three years. When I finally got her, the horns were in a figure 8!!!!!!!!! Awesome!

It's funny to watch him coming through the brush, because he threads his way through just the same way a Moose would!

Gene, maybe Paul dosn't make a distinction between male and female, not that there is anything wrong with that........................!
Post by: 8th Dwarf on September 04, 2005, 10:53:00 PM
Yes, it was a COW Kudu. Yes, it had horns. The vagina was very small and we found testicles INSIDE the animal that were the size of peas...sort of like yours, Gene! I understand yours are inside, too, with all that BELLY!
Oooohhhh, you left yourself wide open for all this, Gene! It's rare when I have a chance to roast you. I'll try to figure out how to scan the photos in to my computer and I'll email them to you. It'll be about a month, since I am hunting Wyoming, NM, and then Montana before I get back to Zoo Town.
Cheers!

Hey, mate, I'm off to Iowa to harvest one just two points larger than yours of last year about the end of October. Any chance of meeting up for a beer and some chatter?
You guys ain't heard nothing yet. How about the time we were filming a video in PA and this van stopped below us and there was this guy and his girl friend and we had this professional video camera and you wouldn't believe what we got on film!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Aye yi yi! I have copies for sale reasonably priced. Gene, this is right down your alley (pardon the pun!).
Heh, heh, heh!

One of the things I dearly love to do is stalk Wart Hogs in the evenings. They will be near the areas where their holes are and busy feeding. My closest shot on any animal in my life was a Wart Hog. The arrow was just clearing the rest when it hit him! Now THAT was exciting!!!!!

I still have openings for at least two bowhunters, and possibly three. I have a full write up on the hunt with all details. If you're interested, contact me at [email protected] (not through this site, please) and I will send you all details.
It's going to be a tremendous hunt on what I think is the best hunting ranch in Africa.
Cheers

This is a year and a half away. Gives you time to save up for it. The best bowhunt you can have in Africa! I'm not getting paid to bring hunters, just looking for people to join me.

I just got back from a Leopard hunt in Namibia. Sorry I didn't answer sooner.
(http://www.tradgang.com/upload/charlie/brunnerleopard.jpg)
Email me direct at [email protected] and then I can send an attachment with all the info.
Greater Kuduland has over 20 water holes. The ranches are HUGE! I haven't taken a shot at a water hole that was over 15 yards! Most are between 8-12 yards. This place is one of the best set up bowhunting ranches in all of southern Africa. I have been there 13 times and it just gets better every year.
I'll wait to hear from you by email.
Cheers...

Chris...I don't know WHO designed the blinds. I have to stand on a rock to shoot in some of them! They are great for a guy around 5' 10".

I'd like the scoop on the hunt, if open spots remain. I sent an email.

I haven't received an email from you. Yes, we have openings on the first two week hunt and the third two week hunt.
I have a good write up on the hunt that I can send you as an attachment once I receive an email from you.
REMEMBER: I am not a paid booking agent, so you get straight scoop!
