Great deals on Plains game hunts

[grayghost]

Ladies and Gents, I have on offer, several great priced package hunts for plains game in the Eastern Cape of South Africa. I have personally hunted this privately owned ranch several times and can attest to the outstanding trophy quality of its well managed game herds. One of my clients recently put 15 of 16 trophies into the SCI record book and currently holds the #12 Blue Wildebeest in the world (SCI current book)and one of my Blue Wildebeest was an extremely old lone bull that has a 29.5" spread. Very recently, we took a Blue Wildebeest bull with a 33" spread and a Cape Bushbuck with 18" horns. Previously, this ranch was unhunted until two years ago, thus the quality of the game is excellent. Just last week, two of my clients trophies arrived (raw salted) which included an outstanding Cape Kudu and a 5.5" Steenbok, so there are good quality pygmy antelope on this 25,000 acre ranch as well as Cape Kudu over 50 inches. This is one of the best deals anywhere for pure trophy hunting. References on request. Contact me if you would like to customize your hunt. We have excellent prices on trophy fees for 2010. No less than 30 species in the immediate vicinity including Cape Buffalo in the 40-45 inch range on 66,000 acres of rough, thick country. Here are some details:

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

BOOKING: 50% (fifty percent) of safari cost deposit to confirm the safari. Balance on completion of safari.
CANCELLATION POLICY: Deposit will be refunded if cancellation is done within 30 (thirty) days prior to commencement of safari. Failure to confirm the safari within the 30 days will result in a 25% (twenty-five percent) deduction fee from the deposit for admin fees incurred. Package animals not shot will not be swapped or discounted for from original package.

This is not a cull hunt. You are hunting for mature, trophy animals. If you take the next world record "what ever" there will be no additional trophy fee. This is an excellent area to take the wife or children. Lots of game to hunt, photograph and observe. Ranch consists of high plains and deep ravines (kloof's). I recommend a flat shooting rifle of mid caliber. Some shots can be 200-300 yards and beyond. Any questions or pics, just ask.

GG.. a buddy & I are looking for a 7-10 day hunting in 2012... any good deals you know of then??

[grayghost]

toxic, a lot could change in 2 years but this time next year would be ok to speculate. Consider airfare, USF&W/CITES imports, taxes, tariffs, licenses etc., in Africa let alone the daily rate and trophy fees. I do suspect there will be similar packages offered from us as I don't see drastic changes in RSA. The World Cup (Soccer) this summer will pour millions into their economy. That can't hurt. Contact me any time via email and I'll start getting you into our one step at a time plan. Sure helps with the $$ part.
Regards,

Thanks,, I'll keep you in mind.. right now things are in the early planning stages..

I am not sure what permits we will need up here, nor what some of the other fees may be..

[grayghost]

You can email me and I'll send you all the information. Most of the hunts I listed are all inclusive with the exception of: airfare to South Africa (or any other African country I hunt), items of a personal nature (shopping etc., if you wish) and gratuities if you desire to tip. Other than that, the daily rates, food, lodging, ground transportation, field prep of trophies, PH, Trackers/Skinners and trophy fees are included. You can email me or PM from here, or email: hunts@grayghostsafaris.com/
Good hunting,
