RE: How many have Hunted Africa?
Bob, even after the trophy fees it is still cheaper and a better value to go to Africa. I went 5 years ago with my brother and we had the time of our lives. We hunted for 10 days, I took 4 animals, he took 4 and including airline fees and getting out stuff back we spent about $4000. We are in the process of booking a hunt for next summer now. The way it looks we will spend between $5000-$5500 this time all inclusive. We didn' t have anything mounted, we did our own european mounts when we got the stuff back. I don' t know what the taxidermy would cost. If I remember right it was about $200 to prep a crate the animals and $150 to ship the crate back home. Turk, you need to go if this is a dream of yours. Imagine watching Wild Kingdom in real time and getting to shoot the stuff. There is just something about sitting in a blind, glancing out and seeing a zebra and an ostrich strolling by.
