I am following this thread now for some days, and at first i was thinking, stay out of this but i just want to add my 5 sents to this. I think it is time that we in South Africa and as South African outfitters sell what we do have at our doorstep. Sell South Africa the Blesbuck and the Springbuck, but then we also would like to sell Buffalo and Elephant at good price. In South Africa it is not possible to compare prices with Zim and we all know that, that's why we want to hunt Zim, Botsawana, Moz and all the other hunting countries but then you need to work with one outfitter and one only. Forget about the guy that know a guy that does have the papers i think sir, work with the outfitter that does have the licence and the correct paperwork in hand. I am hunting 18 years full time this is not the first discussion of this kind i heard or read about, and yes i feel sorry for the outfitter in SA that would like to hunt Zim or any other country and then he walk into a mess like this , remember it is about his name also how long will it take to clear his name but boys let's keep it simple and strait work with the guy in Zim or any other country with the permit or with the tr 2 in hand. And yes there are South African outfitters who do hunt other countries without any problems. Just my feeling about this all good luck guys and enjoy the season ahead.
