ADDITIONAL
HUNTER COMMENTS AND/OR OUTFITTER/BOOKING AGENT REBUTTAL |
|
|
I am not unhappy with the total hunt; the PHs worked very hard, the sable was great, and it was fun hunting the duikers. My problem was the fires and the smoke for the leopard hunting at Miri-Miri. I Thought Safari Outfitters should have advised me of this problem, I would have gone earlier.
