It works the other way around too. When I hunt in South Africa where the rand is a hard currency I have to convert A$ to US$ to Rand (in effect). All the prices are in US$, and only occaisionally will outfitters there allow me to pay A$. Especially for once when the A$ was strong but the rand to US$ weaker, they put up all their prices.

At the moment the A$ is strong to the US$ at around 0.76 to 0.80 so the outfiiters are actually getting LESS money. So if you ask for an Australian Dollar price you might get slugged for the A$ they used to get from the deal.

Expect prices to increase.

A typical buffalo hunt 1x1 for 5 days hunting sells for around US$6500 to US$8500 including one buffalo.

Better areas and better operations sell on the upper size of the scale. The best areas are controlled by Traditional Aboriginal owners as the buffalo cull was not allowed there. The Aboriginals are not silly and want a decent cut from any hunters that are on their land so the oufitter has to make enoughin total to keep them happy.

Some jokers can only deliver occaisional buffalo sitings, trophies in the low-90's, and do not have permanent concessions, hunting wherever they can get access. So buyer beware.

A deer hunt would be a separate hunt elsewhere. You might have pigs where the buff are or you may not.
