Winchester's Deadly Passion S01E05 - South African Dream Hunt

Nyala, waterbuck and oryx are just a few of the species on the menu as Melissa heads to South Africa for an incredible plains game hunt with Julious Heyneke at the Maroi Conservancy. Situated on the banks of the mighty Limpopo River in South Africa, The Maroi Conservancy encompasses 21,000 acres of pristine mopani and mixed Bushveld operating as one of the region's largest fruit farms. In addition to melons and citrus, the Conservancy offers incredible hunting for many species of both plains game and dangerous game, including lion and cape buffalo. Melissa and Julious have a wonderful trip lined up, with plans to pursue a variety of plains game using Melissa's .375 H&H. Surrounded by gemsbok, eland, waterbuck, wildebeest, oryx and more, they deploy a variety of methods, from ground blinds to spot and stalk and even some calling. The hunting traditions, camaraderie and cultural aspects of both the region and its indigenous people combine to make the whole experience almost surreal. Nights are spent taking in the stars by campfire, incredible food, outstanding accommodations and a plentiful supply of African game. Melissa is definitely not in Minnesota anymore. What else could diehard hunter wish for?
