BOW HUNTING

     
     
         
         

Nothing better to experience Africa coming alive early morning in on of our well constructed blinds with Francolin calling nearby and the beautiful sunrise in a distance…. That’s when you KNOW it’s going to be another great day full of surprises!

 

Might this be the day where one of the cats will honour you by coming in for a drink? In this area we have African Wildcats, Caracal, Spotted Genets, Cheetah and the elusive Leopard. Don’t be too surprised to get an early morning or late afternoon visit by one of them at a waterhole.

 

Or will this be the day that you’re going to get a chance at one of Northwest Namibia’s heavy horned Grey Ghosts (Southern Greater Kudu)?

 

8 animals in the Top 10 of Namibia for the 2006 season (with a limited number of hunters) tell the story.
A client and good friend of mine from the States, Steve Walters, summed it up: “Namibia is like a box of candy, you never know what you’re going to get next”

 

This is what hunting with CHRISTIE’S ADVENTURES in Namibia is all about! Our clients’ wishes come first and everyone in our team is dedicated to our clients’ success. We also know that great trophies are very important but the hunt doesn’t stop there... just as important is spending quality time over here and having an unforgettable African experience. The quality of the hunt is what it’s all about. This is why we have carefully selected our freelance Professional Hunters over the years to help out with the bigger groups.

 

With Namibia’s dry climate it gives itself out for bow hunting from blinds close to waterholes. The best time for this is in the dry season from the beginning of June till the end of October. Most of the personal bow hunting I do is by Walk & Stalk and I’d love to have hunters over here to experience it! This is best done in the ‘wet’ season when everything isn’t as noisy, from the beginning of February into May.

We have over 20 different species to hunt that includes the biggest (Giraffe and Eland) to the smallest (Steenbuck, Duiker and Damara Dik-Dik)

 

We have privately owned land of 12 000 acres with 8 permanent blinds that are for bow hunting ONLY. We also like to do some of the bow hunting in our conservancy Loxodonta Africana (African Elephant) that is 650 000acres. This is done from Double bull pop-up blinds in the more remote areas or from one of our 10 constructed blinds. Some of them are elevated blinds and others are pit blinds that give you the opportunity to shoot at an animal on eye level. Being a dedicated bow hunter myself blinds are built to suit every need a bow hunter wants.

We have excellent Bushmen trackers and also use dogs if necessary to follow up on wounded game.

A Hunting guide, Master Hunting Guide or Professional Hunters with additional qualifications for guiding bow hunters must be guiding trophy hunters visiting Namibia. Bow hunting for trophies may only take place in areas that are registered with the Ministry of Environment and Tourism.
