Fellow houndsmen there is opportunity for you to earn dollars and become involved in networking for hunting opportunities.

There must be a fair number of outfitters and guides among you who have established clients and mailing lists.

What about offering your clients opportunities to hunt in Africa ?

You can earn 15% commision on the total value of any hunt booked with us just by refferal.

For example a leopard hunt of US$ 20 000.00 will earn you US$ 3000.00 excluding commission on other game shot beside the leopard. Not bad considering that it's what you'll earn for a refferal and a confirmed booking with a deposit !!

That was just an example we have a number of other hunts available and as soon as our website is complete I'll furnish details.

Let me know if anyone is interested.

Thanks - Roy.

Personally I would never use a booking agent. I know they are getting 15%-20% of my money for doing basically nothing. If I'm going to be spending that kind of money, I'm going to be talking directly with the PH or outfitter. There is a local guy near me that started booking hunts for one reason only, just so he could go on free hunts. Roy, why not just lower your price by 15% to help attract more clients?

Thank's Dean you are right. If a guy comes direct I will cut him 15% off the asking rate. However if you for instance had someone you could direct my way I would like to be in a position to pay you or anyone else something for the business been sent my way.

The leopard hunts are not a problem to sell without an agent.However since we have had it stopped in Namibia and dont have another venue yet for our clients I have to keep business rolling at home so long.

I am known for leopard hunting with my hounds so thats never been a problem. The small cats at home were merely used to keep the hounds going for 3 months of the year between leopard hunting so I never bothered hunting them with clients or advertising it. Now I am hoping to get this off the ground as leopard hunting seems uncertain. So I could do with someone pushing hunts this way for smaller cats , bushpig and driven bushbuck over hounds. We have about 40 other species of game to hunt as well.We offer bow hunting, rifle, blackpowder and handgun hunts.

Just looking for some support. We have for instance clients from the US who ask us who they can hunt Mtn Lion with - believe it or not. Also clients from Europe wanting to know who they can hunt with in the US , so this can cut two ways. I'll only be to happy to refer clients to guys in the US who back my opperation here in Africa. I already have someone from the US wanting a Mtn Lion hunt with hounds.

Thank's for your input , any other ideas are welcome.

Cheers for now - Roy.
