Fabio Zuccaccia - Hunting in Free State April 2009
Fabio Zuccaccia from Italy and our agent Eugenio Franzoni arrived at the Free State lodge on 26 April. They are making another DVD video for Ars Venandi Video owned by Fabio. After sighting the rifle when they arrived at camp we settled and went through the planning for the week ahead. Early the next morning Fabio and his PH, Phillip Theologo went hunting on the farm and saw a beautiful big Black Wildebeest bull, with a well placed shot at 280m the bull went down after only 40m. They then continued after lunch and found a herd of 6 springbuck rams and waited patiently for the biggest ram to move away from the rest. With another fantastic shot at 300m the Springbuck ram dropped in his tracks.

Yesterday afternoon on 28 April after trying the whole morning to find a Steenbuck or Duiker, we went to the neighbouring farm Witkop to have an encounter with 3 tame Cheetahs. We decided to look around on the farm and came across a very big lonely White Blesbuck ram and with Fabio’s excellent shooting and hunting ability he placed the 3rd good shot on the vitals at 240m and after 20m the nice ram went down. With some time left before sunset we spotted a herd of Red Hartebeest and after a successful stalk we found a big old bull on the right. Fabio didn’t disappoint again and with a heart shot at about 150m the bull didn’t run far before going down.

Today we went out early to film the sunrise and after walking around saw a Steenbuck ram with only one horn, but judging the horn this was a good mature little ram. With perfect shot number 5, Fabio hunted this Steenbuck to start of day 3.

We then continued with the Safari to Limpopo were Fabio hunted a Zebra and Klipsringer with well placed shots. Eugenio hunted a Common Reedbuck, Blesbuck and Impala. They returned to Italy on 4 May and Fabio will start producing the new DVD of the hunt soon.

A few tips are shared to help you make the most of your wildebeest hunting safaris in South Africa under the guidance of WTA. Wildebeest are herd animals, and although they will definitely not win the trophy for the most attractive animals, they bring a lot of excitement to the hunt as part of Plains and Wildebeest hunting safaris. The animals are blue-grey with the exception of the black wildebeest which has a chocolate dark brown colour. The herds graze during the morning hours. When the sun is high you will find them resting in the grass or under trees. The shoulder area should be your target. Medium calibre rifles are the norm for wildebeest hunting safaris. Both the male and the female have horns. You will often find one or two bulls grazing away from the herd. Book your wildebeest hunting safaris as part of our plains game hunt packages.
