Donated Hunts
With the banquets and auctions being just around the corner, I would caution you on getting the details before the auction. If you are really interested in the trip, contact the donor before bidding. I'm not saying everyone does this but some PHs donate hunts and jack-up the trophy fees and daily rates to reimburse themselves for the donation (this is very common).
Be familiar with everything before you bid. What trophy fees are included? Are daily rate fees included? Are there any air charter or transportation fees? Is there a price list for other available species? These are some questions that one should ask. Also, have an idea of dates for when you plan to make the trip. They may have your target month already booked before the auction takes place.
If anyone has any advice here, feel free to chime-in on auction hunts.
If your are interested in RSA, the thread "2016 Discounted South Africa Plains Game Hunts" offers some very good, well-priced hunt packages. I have not hunted with this group nor have I met them.
