I went to SA three years ago. TH ehunting is fantastic, the food is great. If you are used to sleeping in a tent, eating Ramen and charcoal hot dogs this will definitely be a shock to you. Pampered is an understatement. It is awesome. In regards to trophies, I killed several animals, had them mounted there and shipped to me. The problem turned out to be the exchange rate dropped in the year between me hunting there and the mounts being paid for and shipped. Cost me and extra $1100.00. Plus shipping stuff back, everyone you can think of is involved and guess what, they all want money. I would suggest only shipping back stuff you REALLY want to hang in your house like kudu or gemsbok 'cuz it's going to cost you. The other stuff take lots of pictures. Your PH should be experienced at taking good photos so you will have great pics you can blow up and enjoy. It really does make it more enjoyable when you don't have to worry about added costs especially if it will be a strain.

I went on a 5 day Cull hunt. Unlimited Impala does. zebra Warthogs ect for $1500.00
I was already over there working
The LSBA always has a couple of hunts to auction at their banquet that include 3 to 5 animals for between $1500.00 and $1000.00

Good day Ladies and Gentleman

Here are some more pictures for everyone to enjoy, I know the date is very old but they were taking last week sorry I forgot to set the date always in a hurry LOL.

Africa might not be cheap, or it can be great value for money but there is simply nothing like it, folks it might take some time to save up but I think it is well worth jumping across the pond.   :thumbsup:  

 

 

 

 

 

 

We need some more guy's for the group hunt 2012, thanks to those who have secured their spots and it is going to be great having some traditional archers in camp.    :clapper:

Hello Louis.

Really interested in visiting your outfit in 2013. Let me ask you, what do you think is the average number of plains game taken with trad gear in a 10 day safari? I'm not looking to see which farm gives me the higher number, just want your input to know what to expect.

Thanks,
David Lozzano

My daughter and son-on-law are in Tanzania doing mission work.  I took a team over there for a visit this past spring to do some work on a construction project along with some teaching, preaching, etc.  While we were there we took a long photo safari in the Serengeti.  Wow it was unforgettable.  No kudu or gemsbok there, I don't think, but we saw thousands of head of other plains game.  I think I took notes of at least 20 species.  Africa really does get in your blood and you will never quite be the same after going there.  I'd love to go back for a hunt.  Rev

Hi Lozzano

I would say on average you can take up to 8 different species bearing in mind that you will pass up a number of animals to get the preferred trophy?

Please contact me on safari.spiralhorn@gmail.com I will gladly send you our promotional DVD.

Check the cost of a guided elk hunt and that's just for 1 animal and here in the states.

Example and this is for a guaranteed opportunity, you go back until you get an opportunity at a trophy Elk. Tejon Ranch California $20,000
