Don’t mess with me - I am a<br />

Swift’ Steyr Mannlicher<br />

I<br />

certainly respect hunters<br />

who have honed in on a<br />

particular species to hunt.<br />

I have a strong desire<br />

to hunt as many species, at<br />

different locations as possible.<br />

The possibility of different areas<br />

and different terrain excites me.<br />

Although focusing only on a<br />

few species, help you become an<br />

expert on that particular animal<br />

and its behaviour. Hunting<br />

multiple species allows you to<br />

gain a vast amount of<br />

knowledge on a variety<br />

of species.<br />

Of course, there are pros and cons<br />

to these scenarios. Therefore it is a<br />

personal choice for each hunter. This<br />

is the reason why I chose to widen my<br />

hunting experience. A good example of<br />

this is my recent trip with my younger<br />

brother Danie to Rooibokkraal Safaris. It<br />

was an adventure I’ll never forget. Filled<br />

with anticipation, excitement with lots<br />

of great hunting and plenty of fun.<br />

After a four hour drive north, we<br />

finally made it to the farm where<br />

we would be hunting over the next<br />

couple of days. Rooibokkraal offers<br />

a unique atmosphere and landscape<br />

which is impossible to explain - only<br />

to experience it in person will justify<br />

this beauty. It was truly amazing to<br />

find a lodge on the spot where the<br />

Marico river conflux with the Limpopo<br />

André van Dyk Jr. with the massive 26’’<br />

impala he shot with his Steyr Mannlicher<br />

6,5x55mm and Swift A-Frame ammunition.<br />
