I can't help but notice that trophy fee's in South Africa are changing fast. This year I have seen more and more companies charging extra money for animals over a magic inch mark. Like a recent ad for 60" Kudu for $13,500. I hate to see africa go the direction of other hunting destinations where you pay by the inch. What are your thoughts? ****************************************************************** R. Lee Ermey: "The deadliest weapon in the world is a Marine and his rifle." ****************************************************************** We're going to be "gifted" with a health care plan we are forced to purchase and fined if we don't, Which purportedly covers at least ten million more people, without adding a single new doctor, but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents, written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that didn't read it but exempted themselves from it, and signed by a President, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, for which we'll be taxed for four years before any benefits take effect, by a government which has already bankrupted Social Security and Medicare, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that's broke!!!!!

Its a pity but unfortunately its a case of supply and demand every body wants one and there is only so many around. a bull of 52" is stil a very good representitive and there is a lot of them around "Buy land they have stopped making it"- Mark Twain | |||

Roscoe, That is daylight robbery was that for a whole package or just the kudu ? We charge $1690.00 max no matter what size and we have big ones around. Frederik Cocquyt I always try to use enough gun but then sometimes a brainshot works just as good. | |||

there's no way i will go hunting on the european fee system. Hunting is a game of chance and luck. Why should you be penalized for having good luck. | |||

Yes, there is daylight robbery occuring from time to time in South Africa. I experienced that in July at Tintshaba near Phalaborwa as, according to the PH, the owner decided to change the structure of his fees after the hunt had concluded and prices had already been previously established. Needless to say, some I paid and others I did not. With my trophies in the salt there I felt that I did not have a choice on some of them. That is why you get everything in writing up front and then discuss things again with your PH on day one of the Safari. I also had this discussion with a number of SCI members at our local banquet last evening and some of them related the same thing. | |||

It boils down to greed: when is enough money, enough? It will put another nail in the hunting coffin if it continues, and you can quote me on this.

just important to get all in writing and know what you are getting into before you hand over a deposit ... i agree it should be the reward of luck and hard work and one shouldnt be penalised for it ....
