John,

I think you'll be able to get that info from PHASA.

Seems kind of lite to me considering they have 9000 game farms.

The local hunters spend 3 times as much on hunting in total turnover than foreigners per year. I could be wrong but I know it's a big number. Couple of years ago the number was 10 000 foreign hunters but a lot of them have moved to Namibia.

I always try to use enough gun but then sometimes a brainshot works just as good.

It would seem that outfitters are wasting time and money by comming to the shows for that small amount of business they should just spend their time and effort marketing in RSA.
