PH/Guide?

This is a hunt with a local guide.
It is a rough hunt for people who have experience in hunting dangerous game!

I don't think I've ever seen an african hunt offered where the field prep of trophies was not included in the daily rate.
How are those fees determined? Per animal? By the size of the animal? Or, are you expected to do it yourself?

This is an great adventure.
One day I will go there too.

Best wishes.

Hi,
this is not uncommon in french africa. The fees are for raw prep and to prepare the trophies are ready for shipping.
A buffalo (cape and skull) will cost 140€.

Regards,

Dennis

Its should have been in the end of June Dennis and I would have taken it for sure.
