When and where are you going?I can't wait to find out!
Sounds great! Good luck to you!Omay North in Zim. Hunting tuskless, buffalo, and maybe a hippo in land or whatever else I can save up enough money for. Going in June of 23
I hope one day you can hunt Africa. I have been once hunting culls for the African experience.I EVER think (and say) "africa is not for me"...
I´m poor..... hahahahaha
Yes, my friend,I hope one day you can hunt Africa. I have been once hunting culls for the African experience.
I'm going to the SCI this coming February and I didn't think I would be able to afford to bid on anything, but you have given me hope. Ha haAt my first SCI fundraiser dinner, a one-day trip for 4 hunters to shoot pen-raised quail only 2 hours away by automobile went for nearly $2,000.
I thought this was all "too rich for my blood".
A few minutes later, I bought a 7-day trip for 2 hunters to South Africa with 4 free trophy fess for $700, which turned out to be the best trip I've ever been on in my life up to that point.
Many (if not most) folks are intimidated by international travel, language, customs, culture, etc. If that is just not their "thing", let them live and let live.
You can buy the trip!
Wow, on your first paragraph, and I'll raise you one. A few years back, my father in law and one of his buddies paid $3K EACH for a two day pheasant hunt on a private reserve (wild birds) in South Dakota. That price included food but NOT lodging. They spent $100 each night for two nights at a motel in town.

Well, since none of them will go with you on Safari, you can pay for me and I’ll go with you? Preferably, Tanzania for buffalo and lion? I’ll pay my own airfare. LOLI have invited and offered to pay for family members to join me on safari. Their response is They don’t want the long trip . I think they are afraid of being a victim of crime and so far from home.
Similar story here. An acquaintance from way back kept yakking about going moose hunting in Canada or Alaska. He thought he would just drive and pull a trailer up to either place, shoot a moose, have it butchered, drive back with a trailer full of meat... no sweat. Hah! Of course upon looking into the details he never went. Talked it up for years until old age and health issues caught up with him. He always had enough money for a hunt most anywhere. When he was still healthy enough, I even put the effort into detailing a plan for flying to AK, including where to go and who to go with to have a really good chance at a 60" bull. And even how to get a couple hundred pounds of meat back with little extra effort.. Nope, he was on a meat hunt don't you know.... but discovered it was a fool's errand to do it his way- then blamed all the outfitters for not going along with the idea. Got to blame somebody I guess.One of my buds paid 10k for a small moose in Newfoundland and it took him longer to get there than to fly from our closest airport to Joburg. No interest in Africa so different strokes.
