Ok folks, we are now about 2/3 of the way through the southern african hunting season. Where are all the end of the season clean up specials? I have seen some great cancellation deals this year but have yet to see much of this. Is it still too early or are they just not out there this year?

It is still too early. Late season specials will be available from about Oct. 15th through Nov. 15th. If you want a good chance at some bargains book yourself a late season 10 day tuskless cow hunt and then you might have a good chance to pick up other dg for just the trophy fees. Some hunters do this on a regular basis. Although any Safari company would rather sell out at regular prices, they still appreciate a late season clean up man to hunt left over quota.

I knew it was still realatively early. I was just thinking that with the state of the world economy there might be more end of season clean up hunts than usual. As such my logic was that we should start seeing more listings and earlier than normal. Truth is I am getting antsy and want to start looking for something to put together.
