I was not trying to be a smart ass, just was expecting it to be cheaper some how.
Do the outfitters have the to pay the land owners or someone for the animal to hunt or are they all free roaming. I know labor is higher, but what really generates the cost? I can't believe that the support people are making much more than 100. 00 a day. I know you have gas and a truck, but!

Unfortunately the cost of hunting here in the states has gotten really steep. My buddy is always saying "yea here you ride around on the back of a horse and get skinned up, and thrown off down a mountain in the dark, eat cold food,, sleep on the hard ground in cold tents and wet clothes and sometimes can't get dry, all in hopes of seeing and perhaps shooting one animal if your lucky for $7-10,000". You got to love it right?

In Africa they treat you like a king , you sleep in a comfortable bed, eat all the great food and drink you could ask for, have your clothes washed and pressed everyday, you see tons of game , shoot 6 or more animals including a Buff for around 6-10,000. I know this because I have done both. Just my thoughts please don't take offense.
