 Clayton Comins Hunting Safaris’ high volume decoyed Duck shooting is done in dry blinds over water. Experience flight after flight of Yellow-billed Ducks and Red-Billed Teal coming in to roosting ponds in the early afternoon. 10-20 ducks per gun per shoot.

Che Park with his Spurwing and Egyptian Geese

 The Goose shooting is done in pit blinds on reaped corn fields with more than 100 decoys. The Spurwing Goose is one of the biggest in the world weighing close to 20 pounds. The hard beating sound from the wings of these huge geese is deafening when 100 or more put their landing gear out to land amongst the decoys. Up to 10 per gun per shoot.

FTR team with their doves

 Clayton Comins Hunting Safaris hot-barreled dove shooting is done near reaped corn fields on a tree line or in a draw. The African Turtle Dove has been written up as being “...the most challenging Game bird in the world…”. It will test the most accomplished wing shooter and leave many humbled by their all-angled approach and sudden direction change. 100-250 shells per gun per shoot.

 

Waleed and his friends with their pigeons

Rock Pigeon’s are decoyed into the open corn field. It is not unusual to have 20 to 30 pigeons fluttering over your decoys as you take a left and a right on these beautiful terracotta and white-speckled birds. 100-250 shells per gun per shoot

 

 Guinea fowl and Francolin are driven over hunters with more than 20 chanting Zulu’s in a similar way to the bull horn formation tactic invented and used in battle by the infamous Shaka Zulu himself. Experience a victory dance by the Zulu beaters after your successful hunt. 10-30 birds in a morning.
