Rules to check
The norms and standards for hunting methods under the National Environmental Management: Biodiversity Act apply to how game is hunted in South Africa, so check that your method suits the gear you are buying. The Consumer Protection Act, as one warranty policy describes it, lets a buyer return goods within six months if the supplier does not meet the Act's requirements. Keep the receipt for any return.
Season and timing
Winter runs from June to August and summer from December to February. November is late spring, so buy insulated camouflage for the colder months before June, while there is still time to compare sellers.
Sizes, units and delivery
Clothing is sold by size, bags and cases are measured in centimetres, and climbing sticks in feet: a 20-foot stick is about 6 m. The listings we found did not show delivery costs, so ask for the delivered price to Johannesburg, Pretoria, Durban, Cape Town or Gqeberha before you pay.
What to write in the request
Name the item, the type of hunting, the size and camouflage pattern, the brand and model if you know them, and the quantity. Add the condition (new or used), your budget and the delivery city. Brand names such as Realtree or Deerhunter help sellers match the exact item.
