14 Exotic Hunts You Can (Probably) Afford from the Dallas Safari Club Convention
The world is full of good hunting land. To help you zero in on some of the most exciting and affordable exotic hunts, we hit the floor at the Dallas Safari Club Convention.
Nine football fields crisscrossed by 3.5 miles of aisles lined with outfitter exhibits from around the world. That’s what Dallas Safari Club’s early-January monster of a convention and expo offers to hunters shopping for adventure. The show itself could be classified as “dangerous game,” so we hit the floor to bring you the highlights. Check out 14 of the most exotic and exciting hunts that you can actually afford. Of course, prices vary here, but every hunt in the list comes in at under $10,000. AdvertisementRelated PhotosSUBMIT YOUR PHOTOSADVERTISEMENTAdvertisement |

I've hunted with Van Wijk Safaris (shown on page 15) on two occasions. The hunting was fantastic. I have been hunting for moose, elk, mule deer, whitetail in Canada and the US, and there is nothing like hunting in Africa. We saw tons of game and half of the animals we took made the SCI record book. Besides the accommodations are excellent, you stay in a lodge with maid service and daily laundry. The meals are sumptuous and you will never go hungry. The Van Wijks are also just nice people. It is truly one of those places where you come as customers and leave as friends. I can't wait to go back again.
Hi...
I, for one, am not in the least bit interested in trophy hunting. Budget allowing, I probably would enjoy any kind of hunt in another Country, though.
However, for big game in North America, I would...by far...prefer to book my own hunts...and would probably have the same results at a fraction of the costs.
Just sayin'.
I was fortunate to hunt black bear with Vancouver Island Guide Outfitters, and red stag in Argentina with TGB. I highly recommend both.
You should note, however, that for all trips on this list, the quoted prices do not include travel expenses or the high cost of transporting trophies to the USA.
Or you could go to Texas and probably shoot 75% of the animals on this list for half the price. I would how ever love to go to Argentina for a bird hunt.
