Supermoon viewed from Afton!

A supermoon occurs when the full moon is at or near its closest point to Earth in its elliptical orbit, making it appear larger and brighter than a typical full moon. The term "supermoon" is not an official astronomical term but rather a popular term used to describe this phenomenon. Supermoons can appear about 14% larger and 30% brighter than when the moon is at its farthest point (apogee) in its orbit.

Afton Kudu Bar

About 15 years ago, a kudu was hunted in the Limpopo Province. To casually say, “a kudu was hunted” absolutely does this once-in-a-lifetime giant, an injustice. This was not tagged in a breeding camp. It was taken by a client with Eulalie Hunting. Social media was not huge at that time, so this accomplishment did not get much recognition, and given the specimen, it’s a shame.

I felt that the beast was too magnificent to be mounted and sent across the Atlantic only to be lost in one person’s trophy room where only a few could appreciate it. Fortunately, the Outfitter and client allowed me to arrange a replica of the horns on another cape. Not having Afton then, moving it from one spot to another, and with me not taking sufficient care of it, I am ashamed to say, the mount deteriorated. It got shabby, and when I took over Afton in 2017, it adorned the place for a few years, but I was never proud of its condition. This year it got a re-vamp. A new cape and Raymond and Hendrik, of Cradle of Man Taxidermy did a superb job. It is the main attraction now. As a comparison we also have an Eastern Cape sub-species on display, this one mounted by Timoland Taxidermy. I think this kudu is equally handsome and actually prefer the darker neck hair coloring. The horns are smaller, but they have equally well-shaped curls.

A beautiful morning with droplets still on the strelitzia flower. What you can expect to see when you are here.....

They have carried many a hunter across the African veld....
It would be interesting to know the collective number of miles they have covered in the 30 or 40 years they have been around!
In the mean time, we'd like to hear about any stories - tales and accounts of your favorite pair of Courteney boots.
