We had a very successful meeting at The Apple Valley Gun Club in California during March. Organised by our friends Alex and Laura Montenegro, the meeting allowed us to reconnect with old clients and meet new friends. The second group of Californians, joined by one hunter from Colorado, hunted with Big Water Safaris during August of 2025. Father and son teams, Dennis and Jason Myskow and Johny and John Staffel were joined by Van Selle and Coloradan hunter Chris Allen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professional Hunters: Dewald Kearns, Mielie du Toit and Thinus Steyn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
