Just purchased an 8 day hunting trip to South Africa at a DU banquet. The P.H. is Shaun Keeny under Shawn Keeny Safari's. Has anyone ever used him before or know anything about him? Thanks | ||

Welcome here on AR forum. Firstly, I do not know Shaun Keeny at all, but as no others seem eager to say something in reply to your question, I'll give it a try. I am confident that the vast majority of South African hunting outfitters are perfectly safe to book with, and will deliver a plains game hunting safari experience that exceeds your expectations. Having said that, I'll repeat it in other words: There is very little risk of you getting burnt for buying a plains game safari from an outfitter about which you have not done your reference checking and other homework well. You have done it, i.e. taken the bold step to buy this experience, now trust yourself and stop worrying about the very small risk involved in going on a hunting safari with a bit of an unknown - to you at least - hunting outfitter. In life, in general, but, it seems to apply in particular to hunting safaris, you get what you expect! I well know a particular AR member who, on poorly interpreted information, came to his own conclusion that he was going to have a nightmare safari in South Africa, even before he left. Poor guy was so self-indoctrinated that he sure as hell did have one long nightmare on, if objectively evaluated, what would have been a very good safari. My advice to you is to, rather than ponder and think about the small chance of things going wrong, be positive and enjoy the other preparations and final planning. Really wishing you well, and we, and I regard that as all South African hunting outfitters active here on AR, are looking forward to reading about your wonderful safari in a hunt report.

Lack of skills – by practice. Lack of experience – by time doing it. One cannot cure: Stupidity – nothing helps! Anti hunting sentiments – nothing helps! Put-‘n-Take Outfitters – money rules! My very long ago ancestors needed and loved to eat meat. Today I still hunt! | |||
