I cant believe the money these things are bringing.

I was told they were selling "Banteng" hunts in the States for $18k.

You mean Australian banteng hunts or ranch hunts in TX??

The highest I have heard Aussie hunt sell for is $16k but more likely 14-15k at the moment. To be honest we are lucky to be hunting them at all at the moment, so who knows where the price will go (rolls eyes).

Give that they are the rarest bovine in the world, that you can hunt it wouldnt surprise me if the cost of the hunts drive up to 20k pretty quickly, supply and demand as they say... but unfortunately the owners of the lands dont understand the commercial realities of the hunts and will continue to ask for more and more for the animals and expect CPI increases, in the least.

Whats more the continued poor state of the US$ is going to really drive some of these hunt costs up.. it just has to eventually...

Banteng are a great animals, a true wild bovine and a SUPER dangerous game hunt!!
