It was a real treat to have our friends, Petter Lyngstadaas, Halvdan Nicolaysen, Caspar Wohlfart, Bjorn Birkelund (1st timer) & Christiaan Frei from Norway back again hunting at Thuru and Wintershoek.
Our Ph’s Jacques, Ben, Yvan and Calvyn took charge of the hunters in both camps and once again the men enjoyed themselves tremendously with great camaraderie being the essence of the trip. Some fine trophies were taken again and we want to thank Tom Jensen, for once again putting these super bunch of guys together …… We appreciate you all so very much and thank you for your continued support and contribution towards our conservation and preservation goals!
