Could always go to hunt nuisance/predators. On my hunt in Limpopo Province the baboons were plentiful. I was able to call jackal and warthogs as well. Those hunts I will never forget!

Check out Kemp African Safaris. They do exceptional photo safaris as well as hunting safaris. Rated as one of the best for trophy quality for multiple years running I would feel very comfortable going with Dawie. Good luck!
I did a plains game hunt in the Karoo area of South Africa in 2012 on a 56,000 acre ranch. Absolutely NOTHING goes to waste! What the outfitter didn't keep for himself, his family or crew was sold locally. Parts of the animal that most Americans consider inedible is used. Nothing and I mean NOTHING goes to waste..
Yep the locals eat the hooves and intestines. Nothing goes to waste!

Not sure Im on the same subject or not. But......Does anyone know what the cheapest option is to go hunting in Africa?
Everything is expensive these days but you can harvest several animals in Africa for the price of one in US. We went several times with free flights United Milage Points. The Package Hunt was fairly inexpensive, but then the Taxidermy and shipping the mounts back was as much as the Hunt.
If you can do it spend the extra money for a trip of a lifetime!!!!!!!
A cull hunt, taking pictures and a skin or two that is done there rather than mounts is about as cheap as it gets. You can always add one trophy animal, with or without mount and not ramp up the cost much. There are some excellent taxidermist in SA but there are also some really bad ones.
Joe Regal taxidermy is one of the great ones

Thanks everyone. Ive always wanted to hunt Africa. Maybe someday. For the time being ole' sleepy Joe has the economy (and our family jobs) in turmoil. Maybe sometime with the not so distant future..... hopefully.
