What to hunt?
Steve M:
Kudu, Gemsbok, Impala, Springbok, Warthog and Wildebeest are the main plains game animals most guys go after. With 40 some species of plains game to hunt nailing down a detailed list is chalenging and of course once you're there the list will change as shot opportunities arise.
My first trip was intended to be for 5 or 6 animals but I ended up with a dozen (different species),lol.
Never say "Once in a lifetime trip to Africa". Ten bucks say's you'll go back for more! I'm headed back in May.
Good hunting,
Steve

Its funny what animals will get under your skin. I just cant get into elan,gemsbok or waterbuck. some of the top wants. But give me a springbok a black wilderbeast a hartebeast and id make the trip for just a huge warthog with the bow. :bigsmyl: Had ostich at the blind everyday until I couldnt hold back on a HUGE male had to do it they was scaring the other animals away :D
Twang at Work:
A waterbuck, eland and nyala are going to be around the same price and among the more expensive - $1,500 more or less depending on the outfitter.
A sable is ridiculous, maybe $20K, I've heard. Roan are expensive too.
Kudu, gemsbok, wildebeest are $700-900 usually.
Impala, whog, and the smaller ones duiker, steenbok, etc around $200.

if you want a sable RSA isnt the place I could have taken one in Zim for $2500 cheapest ive heard in SA is around $10000 and that was a few years ago.

One thing I would recommend for SURE....stay OUT of Zimbabwe. I don't care what you hear from some dude who thinks it's safe to hunt there. IT IS NOT!!! You stand a very good chance of being cut up by some 15 year old kid with a Panga right now. And it's going to get worse, trust me.
Where I hunt, the price tag on Sable is $5,500. That's a big chunk of change, no question about that, but if you want one, that is not a bad trophy fee.
