What keeps you from taking your dream hunt to Africa because you are afraid of coming home empty handed?

I hear where you are coming from, and from the hunters point of view, it makes a lot of sense.
I often say to people "It is very easy NOT to find a Leopard", but if you pay daily rates of $850 and up, the outfitter makes his money hey.
I have a client that postponed his hunt until 2014 and his dates became available for 2013. Short notice however, 20 March to 5 April. I will do it for you on that basis. $6300 daily rates for 14 days and $10,000 trophy fee. Let me know if you are interested.

100% that is what I was saying in the beginning of the thread.... Incentive to harvest a Leopard I can guarantee you that if you market them like this and have a high success rate that you'll never be stuck with a tag no matter what the total cost...

My best always

I agree with you Jaco, but I have also been told several times by hunters that if you market the Leopard at these rates, people will say something is wrong with the Outfitter because the daily rates are too cheap!
Hard to keep everyone happy hey.

My spin on it is simple lower daily rate high trophy fee, this in every reasonably well informed individuals mind should send a clear message, I sell my tags at $25 000 on the same principal and have a 3 year + waiting list, growing by the year...

This works guys just feel more secure...

My best :)

I have already booked one African hunt and some European hunts this year and don't have the time or money for more in 2013.
But this is exactly the type of offer I am interested in and I am sure many other hunters are as well.
