If you are
interested in bow hunting for the magnificent Gemsbok (Oryx) and gracious

HUNTING SUCCESS:
An average of four trophies are usually taken during a 7-day bow hunting safari.
A total of 14 plains game species can be hunted at Kowas Adventure Safaris.
Best months for bow hunting, are July to November.
BLINDS:
The majority of successful bags are made from permanently constructed blinds. These are
situated approximately 20 yards from waterholes and saltlicks. Some are elevated
and some are ground blinds, depending on the terrain, sun and wind direction.
Blinds are spacious, with overhead roofs, and ports are adjustable to suit both
sitting and standing archers. Animals are bagged regularly by using this
method. Six permanently constructed blinds can be chosen from by the bow hunter.
Facilities in the blind:
- hook to hang the bow;
- coolbox with soft drinks/fruit juices;
- mobile toilet;
- range finder;
- books;
SPOTTING AND STALKING:
Spotting and stalking is a real challenge due t o the terrain and the awareness of our
wildlife due to the abundance of predators like the leopard, cheetah, caracal and
black backed jackal in our territory. You are therefore competing against these
natural predators when stalking. An area is selected for stalking, where game is
in abundance. You can see up to one hundred and more animals during one day's
stalking. Ambushing is normally the best hunting-method while
stalking.
