[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1115779, member: 30902"] Mud just to give you and everyone else an idea. With one phone call I could arrange a ten day hunt for you that would include night hunting for predators with no limit on Jackals and such, 1 each, of up to five "plains game" animals, some great fishing and sight seeing hunting in three different provinces and if you wanted to take the ladies along keep them entertained with "girly stuff" and do the entire thing well under 8k a piece including airfare. You could do the same thing in a packaged hunt for three to six hunters. You won't get five star pampering at that price but you won't be cold and wet freezing your but off in a cold tent wondering if it's ever going to stop snowing either. You also won't be riding a borrowed horse eight hours a day two days at a time going in and out wondering if the ride is ever going to end. One thing you will need is to be in decent enough shape to walk a few miles each day. Even on a "game farm" you are going to do a whole lot of walking and stalking trying to find "the right animal". There are also some opportunities for "long range hunting" in places like the Karoo and North Cape but most outfitters over there are not going to let you shoot beyond 200-300yds without you first proving your proficiency beyond those ranges. In all honesty, in most places the cover is simply too thick and heavy and terrain too flat for most of your shots to exceed 300yds. What you will find for sure is game animals that are often very hard to kill stone dead with a single shot even when hit very well. [/QUOTE]
