Subject: Re: Hunting in Australia

Yes seems to be an aweful lot of money and i thought the ads for hunts in my SCI mags were over the top..

converted to Aussie bucks that equates to $8800 and $12200, an extroadinary price compared to hunting overseas FROM AUSTRALIA in my mind...no wonder the people that have the concessions champion these animals,but then not so bad if the traditional landowners actually got a good whack out of it i suppose...do they?

Have you ever hunted water buffalo yourself?

***

Yes the top prices are expensive but comparable to an African cape buffalo short hunt. For people wanting to hunt cheaper there are always deals, non-trophy hunts, cull hunts and hunts in less than ideal or even good areas. As with most things you get what you pay for, but all sorts of people have all sorts of ambitions and objectives. So if a hunter is happy to hunt a smaller buffalo, see less, or shoot cows, it can be a LOT cheaper. If the hunter wants to hunt a big trophy in very good country, it costs more for the outftter and so is priced that way.
