My point exactly! @Scott CWO
3 hunters sharing 1 PH would be illegal. Max 2 hunters per PH per trip.Personally I would pass. 3 hunters sharing one PH on a 7 day hunt is not a great deal. Trophy fees seem a bit high as well.
I'd just go on a regular hunt and with trophy fees it would be a wash, but you'd have a PH to yourself and actually have fun all 7 days.
NOTE: Our program requires that each of the 3 hunters takes at least 1 extra trophy outside the donation package. The donation is only valid for 3 hunters.
Thank you! I learned something new!3 hunters sharing 1 PH would be illegal. Max 2 hunters per PH per trip.
First and foremost, will each hunter have a PH (professional hunter) or will it be 3 hunters with one PH which is not a good mix. What will be the extra cost for each hunter to have his own PH?Hunt Details:

Due diligence pays off.I bought a hunt at an SCI auction for $1,200. The hunt was on a large property in Limpopo and included day rates for two hunters and trophy fees for two nyala. I looked at their trophy fee list and saw that the fees for some animals were very high (kudu, etc.). We limited ourselves to the Nyala included plus warthog, impala and red hartebeest, all reasonably priced. It was an outstanding experience at a very low cost. However, if we had squeezed off on a few of the ‘premium’ animals the cost would have skyrocketed.
If this looks like it is going to happen I would pick some days around a new moon if they have them. Bow hunting would be best in the dry time I was there the first part of October before the rain season started and that was great for bow hunting.I "won" this hunt. I was hoping to get some feedback as to whether or not this was a good deal?
Hello! Please forgive my absolute ignorance, but this is all new to me. A friend suggested I post this here to get some expert advise.
I "won" this hunt. I was hoping to get some feedback as to whether or not this was a good deal? I am an archery hunter from the western U.S.. I don't want to pass on what could be a great trip, but I also am not sure I would enjoy it.
Any feedback would be much appreciated! Below are the details.
It's in South Africa.
I won it by purchasing a $30 raffle ticket.
