GWSmith Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Price is right...Wife is right...How often is that going to happen?:D:D 5 animals outfitters choice...will they be Trophy animals or Culls? Will any of them be considered Dangerous game? Can you find out what the cost is for shipping back the trophy's you take? Are there any special requirements for types of weapons used?

KirkV Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 I never really wanted to do that location.............. but for free?????? Maybe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 I kind of want to go one day. If it doesn't happen I wont be heartbroken. However, if someone were to offer me a free trip I would strongly, strongly consider it. Whatever the animal, its not something that is going to wander by while sitting in a tree stand here. I would double check the shipping back to the USA and such. Also, the rifle thing. If you're required to get some expensive side by side I would rather spend that money hunting bear in Canada, or hunting Alaska, etc. However, if it doesn't have some overhead cost that is astronomical then I would go for it!

bfletch7441 Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 I think you'd be crazy not to take the opportunity. Mounts would get expensive, but a nice photo album could help curtail that expense. Can't imagine having to buy a new weapon unless you just wanted to. It's not really on my list, but I was very tempted this past fall when a trip for 4 popped up for $2,500. It's a different world over there, and if you can go see it for a bargain, why not?

92xj Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Once he figures out if he will be going or not, I will figure out how to keep us all updated. It could be a challenge but I am willing to figure something out. There are all kinds of resources out there that could work, internet phones and satellite phones or post cards.

Dawg Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 .......or post cards. South Africa is not on my to-do list, but being free.......well it'd be hard to pass up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
okiedog Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Africa hunts never really excited me personally, but a free hunt is a little different. If it was offered to me though, I probable still couldn't afford to make the trip. Really depends on how much the phrase "free" paid for. Cost to get over there, getting animals back, etc would more than likely kill that trip for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddyboman Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 WOW......I would go. But I would need to know what is free and what the cost of getting things back and so no would be. SOUNDS like a great opportunity!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 just not sure, never had interest before. My wife said I should go said how many times are you offered that.. Your wife appears to be smarter than you. Go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
