Very few SA hunts would be rightly called "canned", except for possibly lions in SA. Even the high fence operations usually have 10,000 or more acres, some are 100,000 or more. That is a lot of acres of thorn brush.

In Namibia the fences are usually just low cattle fences that game can easily go over, under, around, or through. Some of the Namibian hunts are conducted on 250,000 or more. That is fair chase in anyone's book. The Botswana properties are often huge with either a low cattle fence or none at all.

It is not for everyone. Travel is tiring and expensive and international travel with firearms gets harder every year, however I think it is worth it. My wife enjoys the trip and likes to see the different places, people, and culture.
