I usually book the hunt for following season. From 8 months up to 3 months in advance, and this has never happened to me in 5 safaris, in last 8 years. Having said that, I remember there were few posts here when other hunters experienced the same. This was not received well in this forum...

@Red Leg I will join this party with late comment, as I was hunting north of the country last few days. When I saw this thread on mobile phone, I decided I will read it with peace and pleasure over a morning coffee on my laptop when I return home! So, I did, this morning As expected, you...

Wonderful work! If I ever get a leopard, I would want it mounted like this!

Sorry to hear that! Thanks for reply!

I am not sure I understand where this happened? Previous post was for Hungary? So, was it in Hungary - as reply to that post, or in Croatia, as per subject of the thread? For Croatia: most of "outfitters" are middle men. Basically hunting agents, because hunting clubs rarely advertise. So...

In those circumstances, you have excellent chances. (y)
