Is 5-6 days hunting enough time?

Figure one day travel each way, the rest is hunting. Depending on your game package, you can expect at least one animal almost every day, possibly two animals at least once. Look at the trophy fees for the animals you want to hunt and go from there. Unless you're hunting Leopard, five to six days will be plenty.
 
Seven days would be my absolute minimum. Nine or ten is about right for a PG hunt. Ten and more for buffalo. Any baited hunt: at least 14 days.
I did a 14 day for buff and PG and probably would have done well with a 12 day, but I did spend a couple of afternoons bass and tilapia fishing. That was fun, having waterbuck watch me fish and seeing lion tracks in the mud.
Did a ten day PG hunt and by the last day was just looking to shoot something for sake of it. Took the last afternoon off and started packing.

I read an older thread that mentioned you having some 9.3x64 brass. Do you still have some? I am looking for 100 pcs, maybe 200.
A wonderful trip to Hungary with a very special friend !
