Dear Forkhorn,

I don't know if you were referring specifically to my post about my hunting trip with Limcroma, but if it sounds like an advertisement, I'm glad for the Outfitter. I have been fortunate enough to be a part of many guided hunt/fishing trip both here in the US and abroad. I have had my share of sub-par outfitters, so when I find an excellent one, I want to pass it along. That's how I heard about Limcroma in the first place...By referral from a forum member.

As far as the challenge factor in Hunting South Africa, I tend to agree with the other two replies, in that it is what you make it..
If it looks easier, than hunting other locations, it's due in large part to the incredible quantity & quality of game in SA. That's the main reason hunters go there..You can literally hunt 30-40 different species every time you step into the bush. I can personally guarantee you that the animals I have encounteresd are just as wary and wild as anyplace else. I personally mostly bowhunt while in SA, which is inherintly more challenging in and of itself. If you are are rifle hunter, you will obviously have less of a challenge. It's all relative.

There are plenty of times I could have stepped out of my truck driving around my own lease and easily shot an animal standing by the roadside.... That doesn't mean hunting my property isn't challenging...See what I mean?

You also have to remember, a good outfitter will fit the challenge level to the hunter. You can't expect an elderly man or woman to scale mountains to take a shot....An outfitter's job is to provide the best opportunity for their clients whatever that method may be..

I promise you, Once you go to Africa, you wil understand the attraction. You will be making plans to return before your trip is even over...

Kind regards...
