Most of our plains game bowhunts take place from strategically positioned pit blinds, with average shot distances of around 15 yards. During the early season, we favor the spot-and-stalk method, when the lush green cover offers ample concealment and the softer foliage helps muffle sound—ideal conditions for a stealthy approach. For dangerous game hunts, our methods vary according to the species: from carefully baited setups for big cats to adrenaline-filled stalks on elephants and Cape buffaloes
