    Airports & Airlines

    I see you are from the States. FLY DELTA VIA ATLANTA TO JOHANNESBURG. Let @riflepermits.com do a pre approved permit If you’re hunting in RSA. Avoid EU airlines at all cost.

    Question regarding caliber minimums for Lion & Leopard

    This is the first time I’ve heard of provinces having different minimums or no minimums. I have Googled myself to death trying to come up with hunting regulations for RSA and or the different provinces and a rules pamphlet like all states in the US have. Even the actual law, not proposed law in...

    SOUTH AFRICA: Has Anyone Hunted With JD Blignaut From Safari Hunting Africa?

    Yes. Prices were much higher than posted ones, farms too small. He said farm owners went up. Got a much greater deal from outfitter that has over 22Ha that he owns himself. I’m booked for March.

    Judging Warthog

    The bottom line should be if you think the thing will look good on your wall, then it’s a great trophy.

    I pissed a guy off also. He advertised a real bargain on a package hunt so I contacted him and he sent me his trophy price list. After I gave him my trophy list he came back with a package deal that was 20% higher than the sum of daily rate plus trophies listed. When I asked him about it he...

    How many of the 5 that you booked did not have trophy fees listed? Like you I look at the bottom line and that’s why I said communication was important. I’m booked for a 7 day in Eastern Cape in April. Eland, bushbuck, nyala, mountain reedbuck and duiker for $5,800. This price was much lower...

    We’re on the same page. Both safaris I’ve been on were right at 3 hour drives and were not extra. I’ve booked a hunt in April and another 3 hour drive included in price. I’ve found that custom packages are always less than the sum of trophy fees and daily rates. If they are not, request a...

    When reading ads on safari offers can you really know what your getting and what you’re going to pay? I have noticed various different marketing techniques which can be a little misleading. 1. 7 DAY SAFARI read the small print and discover that pick up and return days are included (it’s a 5 DAY...

    Size of Concession

    1,200 hectares is way too small. Any decent amount of animals, especially the bigger ones like kudu, oryx and eland would have that area grazed down in weeks. Areas like that are usually stocked with pen raised animals a week before you get there. A dead giveaway to this practice is holes in the...
