DEAR HUNTING FRIENDS

I hope this 96th edition of the Take Aim Safaris newsletter finds you well.

In this newsletter I would like to tell you about a fantastic hunt that I just completed in Arnhem Land, Australia and a mid-season update on hunts that are ongoing at our property in Botswana, Lotsane Safaris.

AUSTRALIA

In June my son and I hunted in Arnhem Land, Australia it was an excellent hunt in remote wilderness, I was not sure what to expect when I booked as growing up hunting in Africa has given me a lifetime of 1st class hunting, I must say that hunting in Australia was awesome and offered great value for money with lots of shooting opportunities, I could have hunted many more animals than I did, there is no shortage of animals available, I can highly recommend hunting buffalo, wild boars and scrub bulls in Australia and I am please to be able to offer you these hunts.

I have personally hunted the big 5 African animals and guided and sold the big 5 hunts many times, additionally, from an international hunting perspective / hunting outside of Africa I have done some great hunts, I hunted successfully in Siberia/Russia for brown bear, I also hunted successfully in Hungary for red stag and wild boar, this Australia hunt was the best of my international hunts outside of Africa, the terrain, the climate, the buffalos and scrub bulls plus wild boars that were all plentiful made it an awesome hunt, the buffalo were not easy to hunt as they are very awake to hunters approaching on foot, they see and smell very well and should definitely be considered as dangerous game, in addition to the buffalos hunting scrub bulls/wild cattle is a great hunt, they are huge and are wide awake, a great hunt… I highly recommend hunting in Australia.

I have long been planning to expand the Take Aim Safaris hunt offering to include Australia, specifically free-range buffalo hunting in the Northern Territory of Australia, in fact my family and I own a small farm and homestead in the Northern Territory of Australia.

After booking and doing this hunt in Australia I negotiated a marketing agreement with the local Darwin based operator that I booked with to offer you, my clients these Australian buffalo, wild boar and scrub bull hunts, please read on below for more information about the hunt and please contact me for more information, these buffalo hunts are much cheaper than African buffalo hunts considering that on these hunts you can shoot 3 buffalos for the price of 1 cape buffalo in Africa, cheaper yes but not less exciting and equally a wild safari adventure, if not more remote.

Please see below for more information and pricing of Australian hunts:
