[QUOTE="Aoudad shooter1975, post: 1532847, member: 102560"] I had a friend of mine that went to Africa. He wanted a Cape buffalo bad. I told him some options. He did everything right I'm my opinion. He went to DSC, talked to a lot of folks, weighing his options. Before he plunked down his money. I warned him the area he was headed too was water sensitive, and if dry he could see very little game. I told him about the area in Zambia--I hunted--he would see plenty of Buffalo but the cost was about 7k more...I gave him the guys name in South Africa that has 7,100 hectares ( approx 15,000 ac)under a fence. When I had my family there we saw Buffalo almost everyday. He told him he limits to 2 Buffalo a year and does not "drop off"..and he was 1,000 cheaper than the hunt he was booking. My friend told me he was going to Africa once--so this was his chance to see the real Africa... it was dry, in 14 days of hunting he killed one marginal kudu, and saw one impala female, and a Buffalo cow and calf. It cost him $11,950 for the privilege of riding around in the back of a truck for 14 days looking for something that was not there...do they owe him any money back...absolutely not. He planned this hunt almost 2 years in advance, and its hunting...but he will never go back, and his hunt experience was very poor. All I'm saying is when you have plenty of time, you own it--live there then it really doesn't matter--but when you get 5 days off work and family to be successful then I sure see the value of having the animals in the area...
