I really need some help from the members of Hunters Networks.
I’m doing research and need as much input as I can get. I hope to get at least 1,000 members to complete a questionnaire for me. I will not be using anyone’s details, but rather will be combining info in order to get a bigger picture. The report will also be circulated to nature conservation bodies in order to help them make certain decisions on an informed basis.
I request that you copy/paste the questions below into your email, answer all of them and send it to me at sahunter@telkomsa.net. I thank you for your co-operation.
- What is your country of residence? Please also supply state/province you are situated in
- Have you ever hunted in South Africa? If yes, provide details of year, duration of hunt, province hunted in, species hunted
- If you have never hunted in South Africa before, are you interested in hunting in SA, and are you planning to do so in the near future?
- Prioritize the Big 7 (Elephant, Rhino, Lion, Leopard, Hippo, Crocodile) in the order you would like to hunt them with the animal you want to hunt most on top, and the one you want to hunt least at the bottom.
- List 5 plains game animals in SA that you want to hunt most. List more if you want.
- What do you expect from accommodation? Should it be luxury with air conditioning, swimming pool, en suite bathrooms etc? Or would you rather opt for less luxury at a better price? Please give full description
- What are your trophy expectations when you come to hunt in South Africa?
- Do you prefer the SCI measuring method, or that of Rowland Ward?
- What do you expect for the day fees you pay?
- Any other information that you deem important with regards to any expectations you might have.
- What other activities would you like to engage in while visiting South Africa?
- If you have hunted in South Africa before, please provide a brief description of your experience and tell me what province you hunted in. Please do not include details of outfitters/PH’s in the description.
Your co-operation in this matter will be greatly appreciated, and I hope to see many emails generated from this.
Thank you
Cobus
