Re: Guided Hunts
Hey Spinner, I assume you will be doing the hunt here in the states as opposed to spending the big green to hunt over in Africa. Those guided hunts can be alot of fun and they do give you a chance to hunt animals you would not normally get a chance to, but some people feel that because the animals are on a fenced "farm", there is no sport to it. I say go for it. I believe most of the hunts for exotics take place in Texas just because of the climate. Get on-line and do your research. Find the species you want to hunt and the guides that handle those hunts then check references and hunt policies. Some guides charge by the size of the animal, some are just a flate rate for the whole package and others charge for accomodations then charge another fee if you shoot an animal. When I say shoot, I mean just that. If you shoot and only wound an animal but you don't recover it, you will still be charged a full fee.
Good luck and have fun. There's nothing like the sound of a broadhead as it punches through the chest cavity of a big game animal.
