I am looking for hunting for 2025, I am only interested in warthog hunting.
Maybe some kind of offer from some big farm where they cause damage.
Please, no dizzying offers with prices.
I am looking for fair hunting for fair pay.
I'm not looking for anything fancy, just a basic offer and a satisfying hunt
 
Those hunts pop up from time to time and are incredibly fun.

The tough part to keeping prices down are that your ph often has agreements in place with the property owner on the price of the lodge and animals, including culls. Of course the PH still has his daily fees which not only covers his fee but also the use of his vehicle and fuel, and the usually a tracker/skinner.

Oftentimes the best "deals" that I've found are offered after one arrives for a regularly scheduled hunt. By that time of the year, the current conditions on the ground are well known to the land owner/manager and culls of all types are offered at great prices.

You may already know all this, but perhaps another person also looking for the same type of hunt does not.

I've had great cull hunting with @LJ SAFARIS and @KAROO WILD Safaris . Perhaps they will chime in as well.

My next hunt in RSA will be for culls only as the shipping of trophies are expensive. I'll be culling kudu, warthog and whatever the bush provides. I'll be there just to enjoy the company of friends and take in the sites and sound for a week.

Enjoy. I hope you get some great offers.
 
Beauceron, great idea to be upfront. I think the main catch is for many here this is a part of the business model or industry they are in.
Secondly I think you probably need to engage a PH or guide but see what pops up you might get a good offer but I don’t think self guided is an option if but I’m not sure from where I sit.
 
I did 2 of these many years ago,,, we took 70+ in one and 100+ on the second. Back in 2005 (or so) we where paying arund $100/per person on a 2x1 (or maybe we where 3 per vehicle) and $120 per hog. I beleive we hunted in 3 cars.
We would wait at waterholes (cattle farms) or spot and stalk at crop fields.
We are used to shoot running game, so we would shoot the first one standing still and a couple more of the go. Challeging hunt. We did get some nice trophies, but lots of medium size,,, not small ones though.
LOTS OF FUN!
When my kid grows a little more this is probably Ill do with him.

Hi - the only (best) method of sending you the .375/06IMP data is with photographing my book notes. My camera died so the only way I can do it is with my phone. To do that, I would need your e-mail address, as this
new Android phone is too complicated to upload to my desk computer, which would be easier and to down-grade, reduce the file sizes.
Best wishes
Daryl

Hey Steve, This is Steve Washington we met at KMG last year. I am interested in your Winchester. Would love to speak with you about it. I work third shift and I cannot take a phone with me to work. Let me know a good time to call during one of your mornings. My phone is [redacted]. Live in Florida so I have to account for the time difference.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Good day, Slider.

Do you by any chance have any 500NE brass left that you are willing to part ways with?

Best regards,
Boela Bekker.
