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.

1. What is your country of residence? Please also supply state/province you are situated in
2. Have you ever hunted in South Africa? If yes, provide details of year, duration of hunt, province hunted in, species hunted
3. 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?
4. 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.
5. List 5 plains game animals in SA that you want to hunt most. List more if you want.
6. 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
7. What are your trophy expectations when you come to hunt in South Africa?
8. Do you prefer the SCI measuring method, or that of Rowland Ward?
9. What do you expect for the day fees you pay?
10. Any other information that you deem important with regards to any expectations you might have.
11. What other activities would you like to engage in while visiting South Africa?
12. 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
