Yep. For some reason, good outfitters with good areas rarely have cancellations and when they do, they get gobbled up quickly. Wonder why? They kill their leopards on quota! Not saying cancellation hunts are a bad thing, I just would steer clear of them for Elephant and Leopards.

Many times, a cancellation hunt for a leopard means that someone didn’t get one and a tag is available. Tells you something right there and should be avoided unless it is with someone you have researched and would normally schedule a future leopard hunt with.

3 Leopards hunted, 4 sittings and 3 Leopards killed. Zim, Namibia and Zambia. Area, PH and costs are huge drivers. Certain areas are known for big cats and high success and you pay for it. A big cat is smart and needs a really good experienced “Cat man” to outsmart them. Some areas have high...

Turkish wouldn’t export my leopard recently. Had it send via Ethiopian with no issues.

You will never see as good of a deal like this for leopard and Buff in Tanzania, EVER!

2 one shot kills with 400 gr Nosler partitions in 416 rem mag this year in Uganda for Nile buff. One was a frontal shot. Both bullets were recovered and performed perfectly. One shot was 50 yards the other 80. Originally was looking for SAF, but couldn’t find them.

Tankab. The best and have great populations of Crested Guan and Greater Curassow as well.

Hunted with him in January. 14 days on a 21 day license in Masailand. The place is top notch and the hunting and game areas are out of this world. Highly recommend!

The outfitters get paid by us in dollars and their expenses are paid in Rand. They are doing fine.

Great thread! I agree that done deals should never be renegotiated. However, US hunters have more leverage than ever with the current exchange rate. The bottom line is that our money is worth more and should be able to buy more. It's that simple. That with the reduced cost of fuel should...

Do not just put sand in the base! You will be dealing with loose sand on your floors for the rest of your life. I make all my own bases to save some expense and also because it is fun. First, cut 3/4 plywood to your dimensions, and reinforce underneath so it does not warp. Make sure you put...

I think this dude must be the devil....he simply won't die.

amazing

I would do stay at African Sky. It is worth the money and it absolutely first class. The gun permitting system is also convenient and seem less. The other thing I would consider is moving your flight up to a later one to PE. Get some rest and relax. The harder you push the travel envelope...

Stop feeding it!!! It can not get full.
