Your Wing Hunt in the Field
What You Need to Know Before the Wing Hunt
Wing hunting South Africa at NTONI follows a clear and well-organised routine. You start with a short meeting with the PH to confirm the plan for the morning or afternoon, based on wind, fields, and bird movement. Once the plan is set, the team positions decoys or places you in the correct shooting spot.
Goose hunts near NTONI take place from fixed positions with clean shooting angles, while pigeon hunts near Bloemfontein require more movement, because flocks shift across the sunflower fields. The PH adjusts your position when needed to keep you in the best line of flight.
The team handles transport, equipment setup, and shot evaluation, so you can focus fully on the hunt. After pigeon sessions, you return to the lodge for drinks and your meal, while goose hunters often continue with an afternoon plains-game session before moving back to the lodge for drinks and dinner.
Typical wing-shooting species: Grey-winged Francolin, Egyptian Goose, Spurwing Goose, Shell Ducks, Yellow-billed Ducks, Red-billed Ducks, Partridges, Rock Pigeons, Guinea Fowl.
