Sticky situation with outfitter - advice appreciated

If you have 7 day hunt planned for 2 species even if you walked 2 hrs it is plenty doable. But if you hike 2 hrs on foot to hunt then recovery of that animals is going to be a bear for whoever packs it even if you cut it in half. Most outfitters have multiple concessions they hunt for certain species, but I have not heard of an increase of that magnitude in the EC for Sable. 8 yrs ago Sable were $14K not they are just above $2700. Enjoy your hunt .
 
prices on everything have gone up , inflation is hurting everyone
Agree but in RSA, foreign hunter numbers are down 50% from just ten years ago. I've heard the Spanish hunters numbers have fallen off a cliff. In that environment/timeframe, I've seen Sable prices go from 8k+ to less than 3k. Anecdotal, this year has seen a good bump in hunters but I suspect it's from being in kung fu prison for two years. Having said that, glad it all worked out. I'd rather not go on a hunt I felt compelled to do just to not lose money.

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
