The Hunting Report
See it come up from time to time in web searches, does anyone subscribe - is it a useful resource? Given the costs of safaris, seems like a small investment for more knowledge.

I am also a subscriber and have been since waaaay back when Don Causey owned it. Barbara Crown has made the publication even better. Good info for the international hunter. Much of the breaking news that crops up here comes from the Hunting Report email extras. I find the Hunt Report database useful in researching outfitters. Another tool for checking who I am contemplating hunting with and who the bad guys are out there...

One bad trip avoided pays for many years of the service.


On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling

I've been a subscriber for many years as well and always thought it was a good value. There's quality information in the newsletter and the hunt report database is pretty good.

I preferred the older "E-mail Extra" format, which reported true breaking news and wasn't so laden with advertising. But that's a minor gripe. The Hunting Report is a solid publication and worth the money in my opinion.

I also subscribe.

I think its worthwhile, but I also have some issues with the level of advertising and worry about objectivity as it relates to those outfits.

The hunt reports are useful, although not as detailed as here.

It does get used at times as an attempt to air grievances.
