[QUOTE="Pa.Frank, post: 3102994, member: 128054"] You pay for the animal so all of the meat is yours to do with as you please. HOWEVER, The USA no longer permits the importation of wild game meat from Africa. So you will eat on some of it while you are there, and what the outfitter cannot use they sell locally or feed the staff. I had a meal from every critter i shot while I was there except zebra.. Even the skinners and trackers won't eat it. springbok, impala, blesbok, tastes kinda like a cross between farm deer and elk. and gemsbok and kudu was like a nice elk steak but a mild flavor. Wildebeest like a gamy beef, but made great biltong (African jerky)/ warthog looks like a pig but they are tough and the meat is dry. I suppose they might taste better if you could pen them up and feed them slop for a couple weeks, but they are diggers.. They can dig a hole big enough to hide a body overnight.. Not sure what it is they are after.. But back to the meat, To ship it back, [I]if it was permitted[/I] would be prohibitively expensive. If all your after is meat, go shoot a cow. I'm sure there is a farm here somewhere that will let you do that, and it would be cheap by comparison. all my stuff was handled properly and all of it made it back to the USA in one piece.. In retrospect, I have all these "trophies" in my house.. the old lady hates them, my kids don't want them, and I'm tired of looking at them.. If i were to do it again, I wouldn't bring anything back but a picture. My trip was in 2012 it was 2 weeks and they whole nut including shipping trophies, airfare, the works.. was under 10K Always remember this when you think about an expensive hunt..
