This will most probably be related more to Outfitters and PH's but please feel free to comment...Is this not the one area where charging is done wrong?
Lets put it this way: A hunter books a 5 day hunt at $500 / day, shoots 3 Trophies totalling let's say $4500 and goes back home. Total potential income = $7000
A non-hunter stays the same amount of days at $200 per day and goes home with excellent memories. Total potential income = $1000
Are we not supposed to swop these day fees round??? Reward the Hunter more for they bring in extra $ with every animal taken. A non-hunter expects the exact same treatment as the hunter and potentially even a bit more, yet no extra income is generated for the industry.
I personally feel that the hunter should be "rewarded" if I can put it that way, maybe even encourage a hunter to bring another hunter on safari??
