This is very disturbing
Jigghead Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 Surely it's not biltong hunters? Probably local homeless guys looking for a bit of venison for the pot. I live near Lonehill and a friend on mine's wife does some meals for the homeless people that are staying close to the old Clay Oven as part of their church outreach. Turns out those guys have been trapping and eating the Lonehill and neighboring area's dassies. I recon it's the local homeless guy's looking for food. A kudu will feed a lot of them for a long time. Winter will always see more of this type of behavior as people become more desperate.
Pants Boy Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 I take it that's close to Fountains ... How do they know it was shot?
vinylguy Posted May 28, 2013 Author Posted May 28, 2013 dont know if it was shot, but it was dragged to that spot, long blood trail. doubt u could wrestle a kudu! either shot or trapped with a snair i have emailed the manager at groenkloof to see what the story was
Warren911 Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 Very very disturbing, but as mentioned the people are desperate!Most probably used a snare?I know there is a problem with poachers using packs of dogs to catch small buck etc in some parts of the country.Keep us infomed.

Dassie eating? good idea for lonehill as the population is at 4X its carrying capacity at present cos of people feeding the things!
vinylguy Posted May 28, 2013 Author Posted May 28, 2013 Thas very disturbing..... have you been in touch with management there? i have emailed the management to ask? also asked why their is a unlocked gate in fountains that anyone can gain access to from outside! hence the recent muggings Warren911 1
BAMF_SS Posted May 28, 2013 Posted May 28, 2013 wrestling down a kudu is not for sissies.... they probably used some sort of tool...
