Not sure who I will book with this year or what I'll hunt. Bucket list is Nilgai, Nice whitetail and/or Axis. I've hunted with a lot of outfitters on here and would only recommend 3.
Who are you booking with, what game are you hunting?

Under normal circumstances I would participate, but with the way the internet has ruined so many good opportunities, I'm going to have to decline to state what outfitters I'm hunting with, where they are located and what game I'm going after.
People being loose lipped on the Web is one of the reasons I'm having to use an outfitter at all in many cases
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

Hey Buzzsaw,
I'm looking at Pronghorn, Axis and Aoudad with Aoudad and Pronghorn being the top two. I've been compiling a list of outfitters mostly based on this site and would be very interested in your thoughts via PM. I'm not experienced with Outfitters as most of my hunting has been through Texas Draw Hunts. I got two very nice Mule Deer from the top of Elephant Mountain a couple of years ago and some nice Turkey fans as well all on draw hunts. Looking to add to the collection.

Internet is good source but hunting trade shows are also as well as chamber of commerce listings.

Has someone "poached" a trip with an outfitter out from under you txtrophy? Your post makes no sense but I'm guessing I'm missing something.

People being loose lipped on the Web is one of the reasons I'm having to use an outfitter at all in many cases Just like most people would not post their coordinates or natural markers of their honeyhole fishing spot. But most will still help out a fellow hunter in private conversations and recoomendations. There are many very good outfitters that do no advertising and have waiting lists due to repeat clients and this is what I believe txtrophy85 is referring to as these days the information highway is just allowing others to get to the prize easier and quicker and lessens the opportunity and availability. I long to go to Africa before it too fades away, but world affairs and travel for this anglo is making me pause...

I've been trying for years to find an outfitter that has a decent opportunity for a 150"+ whitetail, low fence. But have been unsuccessful. I love hunting my ranch but sometimes just want to see some different country, a little adventure.

High fence, low fence, no fence, it really doesn't matter as long as you're hunting!

We hunted with Numzaan safaris in Limpopo for 10 days and had an absolute blast. Would 100% recommend them
