Hunting packages - What to offer!!!

Well 2013 hunting season is just around the corner I hope its something I can't live without looking for affordable reason to be back in Africa.

Hi,
How about a bow package that is a bit different. 1 bushbuck, 1 Nyala and 1 Waterbuck for $4495.00 if any of them score sci gold you throw in a fifth of Genlivet. You could call it the single malt special.

-Cheers.......Jerry

Bushwack having never been to Africa, going for the first time in 2014, I personally like the spiral horn animals. A package with kudu, nayla or waterbuck, bushbuck or heartabeest, impala, blesbuck or springbuck is my dream packge. With that said and never been to Africa, the wildebeest, warthog and the smaller horned animals don't appeal to me, I'm sure my views will change once I've been there. Also the idea if a percentage off your package is a great idea, posted bysomeone earlier. I'm also taking my bride with me and paying $200 a day for her seems high but then again not sure of the actual costs for her, but I know it costs very little to feed her at home. I have seen observer prices from $120-$250 a day, makes it a easier to get the kitchen pass from the wife to go to Africa if she gets to go. Just the thoughts of a guy on the outside looking inside, I'm sure I will have many different thoughts after I experience Africa for my first time with KMG Safaris in 2014. Kurt

Just something to ponder, many have come before you with the same statement and one of the biggest regrets voiced here is not taking them. They are cheap, they grow on you and those who have been to Africa many times know that it is FAR bigger accomplishment to capture the tiny 10 than the big 5!

+1!
When I was in South Africa in 2011, I had the chance to shoot a very nice Steenbuck with my bow when on a walk and stalk.
I had a brainfart and decided not to shoot it because it was not on my "list".
After dinner that day, it dawned on me what a stupid decision it was not to shoot it and I really wanted to kick myself for it and I still feel the same about it now.
All I hope for is that I will get a new chance on a nice Steenbuck when I go to Eastern Cape on a walk and stalk bow hunt this year.

Be open minded and be ready for everything when you are there. I know I will be this year

Well I plan on taking some extra money for the unexpected, I already know I'm going to go back to Africa again and I haven't even left for the first hunt. So maybe I can get my some of my wish list animals this time and the rest the second time or third or fourth who kknows how many time I will hunt Africa.

Plus 1 for me after a few trips you will start to notice and wish you had take a few of the little guys. The tiny ten gets to you I never thaught I would want them but am half way there and plan on a trip just for a few of them in the future now ever trip I take I always take a little extra cash for the odd chance at one
