Greg...as I understand it hunting in Africa is still very good. A friend of mine just returned from Zimbabwe-his third to Africa-with what is likely to be his last Cape Buffalo. (He took the beast with his .577 hammer gun)
Anyway he tells me that the very best value in hunting today is the African hunt-especially for African plains game. Having recently priced several fly-in and guided Youkon Moose hunts to Alaska and then pricing a hunt to Africa, I have to agree with my friend. Best value today is the African hunt for plains game.
There are several websites having to do with accurate rifles and reloading that have various forums dealing with just what you are asking about. Some of these forums will even advertise discounted hunts for cancelled or un-filled hunting slots with sometimes tremendous price discounts. Can't comment about the bird hunting but I presume it can be very good around water holes and such. Jeff
