Aspen Hill AdventuresCancellation Plains Game Hunt Available
I have an opening for one hunter on a 2X1 hunt in the Limpopo at a 5 star lodge for the following price and game species:
Plains Game Hunt Package- 7 days for 5 species (5 full hunting days)- $3500
Non hunting observer accompanying hunters on package- $1000
Includes: 1 x Kudu, 1 x Blue Wildebeest, 1 x Red Hartebeest, 1 x Impala, 1 x Warthog
There is one hunter booked and his partner backed out. He is looking for a partner.
The animals will not be representative heads, if it's the biggest one on the property you can shoot it!
Only stipulation is the open date: 23rd April to 29th
This same package is currently priced at (per hunter) $5995 for 1X1 and $4995 for 2X1. We have other dates available if you wish to book separately or with your own partner for the 2005 season.

Aspen Hill AdventuresBTW- this property is 17,500 acres in size. I will be there in late August myself. I expect to nail some big trophies there since you all appear to be leaving them to me!

<Belarus>Ann,
Unfortunately I cannot take advantage of any hunts right now but would like to take advantage of this post and a moment of your time to ask a question.
Based on the price I would make the supposition that this does not included airfare. What other fees could one expect to incur beyond the initial $3500? I realize taxidermy fees are highly variable so I would like to address costs other than airfare and taxidermy. This hunt is close to what I have planned for my first trip sometime in the near future.
Again, thank you for your time, consideration and help in the matter.
Regards,
Eric

Aspen Hill AdventuresIf you like expensive alcoholic beverages you may get charged for them. It will cost extra if you want to take a few days extra to go shopping, sightseeing, etc. If you shoot game not in your package you'll pay the trophy fee. Tips are also something you'll want to bring some extra cash for.
As you said, you do need your airfare and trophy dip/pack and ship. Most outfits do not include airfare and after hunt trophy care. This hunt price covers you to and from the airport in Johannesburg, your day rate, listed trophies, services of your PH, trackers, skinners, laundry, food and class A lodging.
We have an exclusive contract on this property and expect some real nice trophies to come off of it.

WinkWhat information can you divulge about the other hunter? Nationality, age, does he (she) drink bourbon? I know you may not be able to say anything but it might make a difference to know who onemight be sharing the experience with.

Aspen Hill AdventuresWink,
I do not know him at all, BUT, we would absolutely be happy to put an interested party in touch with him so you could make a determination if he was someone you wanted to hunt with or not!
