Probably just like many others here, I got an email from SCI yesterday with the new Tanzania government fees. I don't have any experience hunting any part of Africa so I may be mis-interpreting what I'm seeing, but the fees themselves don't seem that bad.

I realize there are daily fees paid to the outfitter for each day in camp, dip & crate fees, etc. but are there additional license/trophy fees paid to the outfitter for each of these animals? For example, the government fee on buffalo is $1,500 which doesn't appear to be unreasonable. Does the outfitter charge another fee specifically for killing (or wounding) a buffalo?
