Greetings from

South Africa

Hi There.

My name is Cornel Ries 28 years old from South Afri~ We have 3 Game farms in South Africa and Botswana. Hunting is for us a second nature. Our farms cover an area of 12 000 hectares.

The reason for my e-mail is the following: I work at a German owned company in South Africa called I. S. E. (Innomotive Aystems Europe), head office based in Bergneustadt. For the last year I took all the employees from Germany who came to South Africa for business on hunting weekends on our farms both South Africa and Botswana. I couldn’t believe their reactions. They really appreciated it .

So I am planning to visit some of my friends in Germany this year (still not sure which is the best time). My plan is to get as much information as possible on the German Hunting Clubs so that I can come and do some marketing only for Germany.

I would really appreciate any information or advice.

Hallo Freunde,

falls jemand aus NRW in der Nähe von Bergneustadt dies liest und Freude daran hätte Cornel mal mit zur Jagd zu nehmen, würde ich gern vermitteln.

Hi Lutz

Sorry to disturb you again! But I must show you how close I get to these buggers.

I Shot a Kudu and threw the remains in the bush .The next day I went to have a look and found this bugger there. They are quite plenty on the farm. At night you are almost guaranteed to see a few stealing leopard kill. I thank you a lot for youre quick reply and time. It is really appreciated by myself. I hope you have a safe trip to England. Myself is leaving next Thursday for Botswana with some family. I will figure a way to get you some pictures may-be on cd of oure house and accommodation on the farm etc.

Thanks again for youre time

Like I told you I am going to Botswana over easter. My plan is to take photos of the accommodation, the rooms, and se-roundings. We were very fortunate this week. We had 55 mm rain on the farm. It was quite dry and the winter is still coming. So we are very happy.

I am looking next week for a nice Bushbuck to add to my own trophies. We have quite a lot next to the river. I will put the hunt for you on video and send it with photos after easter.

Please keep me inform when you are coming to Botswana in June. I would surely accommodate you if you want to visit, and see the setup we have. It will give you a idea and you could also meet my warm harted family .

Keep well and in touch.

Looking forward to hear from you!

Keine Krokodile? Lushanê in Botswana im Wasser. Wozu die Windel. Für Spülung ist im Fluß doch gesorgt
