My Taxidermist, who had decades of experience with African Game recommended “Scott’s Liquid Gold” for periodic maintenance. I use a rag and wipe them down..

Sooo…. The only thing that came up in relation to D&Y was simply in relation to cost/budget on a “Wild Lion Hunt” There was zero disparagement and certainly zero question or negative assertion towards them. Phillip simply (and incorrectly/innocently) injected that D&Y was WAY below market @...

A few reasons 1) They are exportable to many places, so there are hunters from several Countries that will hunt as an Exportable hunt 2) yes, for the experience of the hunt 3) the Cost has come WAY down as a result so for some it is the only way they will ever get to experience it. A wild Lion...

To me…it’s Vic Falls Hotel all the way. Stayed there last year finally and wouldn’t have it any other way. Dinner there on the deck or at the buffet with the show as shown just above…afternoon tea on the deck… It’s a must. You can’t compare the history and experience. The ONLY reason not to do...

They are pretty soft skinned according to Legend… I think anything above .223 and good shot placement is plenty

Thanks for the response, Not sure if you read what precipitated the inclusion of D&Y, so this sort of “buries the lead”. You all have done a great job the last several years and established a very good reputation. The point, however, was raised (and then doubled down on as “FACT”) that D&Y sells...

Yes sir… I am indeed VERY familiar with that Lots of good honest advice and folks here on AH. Lots of experience and knowledge

Well that’s a deal… especially with the $375 only once Go and have fun. Make sure you spend a little time in Buenos Aires for sure (it’s a long trip down) You are in good shape it would seem on the deal. Just budget your shell cost and you are good

Such a big world with Unlimited Opportunity!!! I want to continue African Safaris and continue to experience hunting Elephant, Buffalo, Leopard, Lion as long as I am able “Experience/Cultural Hunts” in places like Scotland, France, Spain, Hungary etc Argentina for the Experience and Culture...

You are exactly right…. Some of us suspect the is the new magic concession that just “popped up” he is being offered.the Duplooys turned the concession over due to some form of Shenanigans… not sure what kind but they have been around forever with a sterling reputation. Haven’t heard of another...

I would normally agree 100%, however, this IS an Auction deal. They normally have a couple of line items/costs in these like “Field Fees” and “Bird Boy Fees” etc I think they may have rolled some fees into this one. all the Auction Hunts have a bunch of extra “per day” fees. I may be a little...

Well, the “Argentina Auction Model” is built around getting people into camp. They make money no matter what (which hey…is ok) Now, your shells per box are now $20 a box at most places. They want you to shoot some $800 worth of shells per day or more. You would pay that (depending on how much...

I see what you mean now by Campfire area. I’ve hunted a couple…you are correct. Now, the going rate on “good” Lion hunts in quality areas and quality outfitters in Zim and Zambia… Yeah.. Zim is definitely $2,900 a day (60k) on day rates and Trophy fees now another 20k on Average Zambia is...

that video is D&Y here…Zimbabwe…not a 50k hunt. Great outfit and excellent value, not 50k Don’t confuse the “what’s your definition of Wild” question above it. All the Lion Hunts in Zim, Zambia, Mozambique (Niassa),Tanzania (and the few in Namibia) are wild and Exportable South Africa…not… A...

Caveat Emptor….
