[QUOTE="Pa.Frank, post: 3102541, member: 128054"] Its the rape of the non-resident.. Africa IS cheaper in the long run, especially considering all you get there that you NEVER get here.. My license fee when I went was $28 for whatever I hunted.. Trophy fees are set by the landowner and depends on the animal your after, the local population etc.. but here is whats included.. All your meals..in camp. and they feed you and feed you very well. including beer and or wine. Your laundry is done DAILY, washed pressed and folded. Even your sox are pressed and folded. [I]Every day. [/I] Depending on the critter your chasing, you will have from 1 to 5 trackers and skinners with you. They find the critters, drive the critters, sometimes with horses, and take care of the dressing/cape/skinning Immediately upon a kill, the trackers will clear all the brush from around the animal and position it for your photo shots. The next time you see your animal, would be at the skinning shed. where everything is processed. I watched a 600 pound wildebeast get fully processed in under and hour. You don't do anything for yourself.. No gutting, no skinning, no camp work. you don't need a knife, you don't need a rangefinder, you don't need bino's (the guide/outfitter usually has 2) You only need a set of clothes to travel in, 2 changes of hunting clothes and some camp duds and thats for 2 weeks. I shot 7 animals for far less than the cost of the cheapest elk or moose hunt I could find over here with the biggest nut being the plane ticket. To get the level of service and accommodation here for what you get over there would cost you thousands,if you could even find it anywhere over here.. and to further comment on the wildlife agencies buying up more land, I see that as a good thing.. I hunted for over 50 years in Pennsylvania and last time i looked there was over 7 million acres of public land available for hunting in the state.. and outside of a few areas, the hunting pressure is not all that heavy.
