    Settling up after the hunt with your outfitter

    Hey Folks, I just finished paying for my daily rates for a buff hunt in Zimbabwe. How do you all handle paying the remainder (trophy fees and other costs) at the conclusion of your hunt? For me that’s going to be 8-9k counting my tip money. Do you just carry that much cash? Pay the trophy fee...
