Nope, that is not what I'm talking about. There are many hunts in both South Africa and Namibia that are not canned or even high fenced. Plus you can do affordable package hunts in Mozambique and Zimbabwe. I once did a 12 day hunt in the savanna of Cameroon plains game for a lot less than I could do a guided hunt just for Dall sheep for in AK. The govt owned hunting concession in Cameroon was a little over 2 million acres and I was the only one hunting it that 2 weeks. Name me a place in MI that you could hunt under those same guidelines.
Africa is a big, big place and you can't discredit the whole continent simply because there is some canned hunting or high fence hunting on the continent. That is like doing the same thing here in North America for whitetail deer. Just because some places allow hunting for pen raised deer doesn't mean that all the deer hunting in the entire continent of North America is that way does it? Does a high fence operation in TX for whitetails have anything to do with deer hunting where you are in MI? Of course not. So why do you think such a thing would apply to Africa?
