victorhunt 0 Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Hi there I am new to this forum and want to start some threads on Africa hunting but also want to get to know the huntable game in the US and Europe. I have had many clients that talk about certain species that they have hunted and I do not know what they are talking about. Where can I get info from the internet that will show me photos of the different American and European game animals, their size weight etc.? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

victorhunt 0 Posted September 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 In Zimbabwe the trophy prices are cheaper but your daily rate and extras are much more expensive. We hunted for Buffalo, Sable and Leopard on this safari and I prefer to hunt my dangerous game in other countries that South Africa for the only reason that they still have huge areas where these animals are totally free roaming. Most of my plains game I hunt in South Africa on large game fenced ranches. The difference is that in your other countries the camps are still situated in these concession areas and hunting a dangerous animal needs to to be done (in my oppinion) in the old way of hunting them on foot and in the wilderness where they fend for themselves. You stay in a camp which is open and Elephant, Hippo, Leopard or Hyena frequient the camps. They are not fenced at all! Here the client can experience the real Africa with its nocturnal sounds and everything that goes with it. We call this a classic safari. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
