Maybe I've had a rough trot over there. My first hunt in RSA I went to two different areas to hunt first Springbok and then Kudu in their natural environment. These were my primary species and I missed out on both because we 'walked it up' fair and square.

Bushcraft mentioned wanting to hunt Nyala and the auctioned hunt was to be in the Limpopo and Kalahari. I may have read that wrong. I was just trying to point out that Nyala are not indigenous to either area. Every hunt has to have some compromise and I was pushing my own ethics. It is his hunt and he should do what he wants. You blokes are spot on in making that point clear.

As to the 80% statement. We may have to agree to disagree. I have been going to southern Africa to hunt and visit friends since 1984. Some of the storys of sculduggery perpetrated on foreign hunters in the name of fair chase you no doubt have heard yourselves.
