That price would be a bare minimum. If you want to get any of your trophies back to the states it will cost considerably more. I was in Africa in Nov. 2023. On a 7-day hunt. I shot 1 cape buffalo, 2 gemsbok, 1 kudu and a sable. I chose to do only Euro Mounts. The prep for the shipping, the export paperwork and shipper, the importer paperwork, for the shipping on a flight, the airline fees for storage if the importer cannot pick them up for immediately from the airline, arranging for customs inspection, the USDA inspection etc. Then the shipping to my location. That was a total of $4000. You can add in what it would cost to get your trophies mounted however you wanted. Don't get me wrong. I had a great time in Africa, and it was a trip of a lifetime. But be prepared for the extra cost to bring your trophies home.
5 animals including cap buffalo. That's a hell of a hunt. An oryx is all I want to bring back if/when I go so I will still not spend close for $4k trophies. Being overseas I know how it goes, you get shaked down daily for a week. Still worth it though.
Having hunted S. Africa twice, I believe you should breakdown the total cost in three parts. First part is the flight, lodging, animals, and tips. Second part, the cost for any level of hide and skull prep and the cost to dip, pack and ship your animals.The third part is paying to receive your animals and any additional taxidermy you want done in the US. If I plan on spending $6 K for the hunt, all in I know it might cost me $15K to have some animals mounted. Those are generic numbers, my point is planning on spending close to 3x the cost of your hunt when it's all done and on your wall.
No way is it that inexpensive. I’ve been to South Africa twice and Namibia once and spent twice that amount.
i appreciate someone finally being honest enough to discuss pricing - most never do this - and it can become extrmely expensive - and i have been to africa to hunt 3 times
Less expensive than an outfitted big horn sheep hunt in Wyoming.
Way less . Here in bc Canada they can be as much as 40 grande. It’s insane
Ur flight there is like 5 grand thats the biggest expense atleast thats how much i payed when i went i just came back a week ago
You help me get through life man thanks for sharing and being so genuine if you ever want to catch big lake sturgeon in Minnesota lmk
Thank you for going in depth, this is a question i have always wanted answered!
Ik when we went for a few of the big 5 each ticket was over 15 a piece and this was years ago so this is really affordable. I’d definitely be down for a trip like yhis
Hey guys just wanted to put this out there since I did not put this in the video. If you are serious about going to Ekuja to hunt with me email: Ekuja.hunting@gmail.com and tell drikus what animals you would be interested in how many people will be in your party and that you are looking to book for the “mulletman” trip. You will be put on the list and we will reach back out with further details! Thanks guys looking forward too it
I don't think the email address works I tried to contact them but when I put the email address in it says no matches
It depends on where you go too. If your going to South Africa,Namibia or Zimbabwe the price is going to be cheaper. But if you go to central,east and west Africa the price is going to jump especially in Tanzania and Ethiopia from what I’ve researched….and then there’s Zambia and Mozambique which are pretty expensive but not bank breaking
Can you explain the cost breakdown for shipping your mounted animals to the us? Full cost from taxidermy to shipping if you could?
Right? that is a thing I MUST know for the costs.
Back in my day as an outfitter and PH ,I normally introduced my clients to the taxidermist and they then dealt directly with this company. I never got involved in the shipping and costs of the taxidermy. I just supplied the relevant documents. Not sure if that's possible today .
This is the key question I was hoping to be answered. I plan on taking a trip but I have yet to find a rough estimate on what it would cost to ship the animal back to mount. Or if you pay to Mount in Africa then send it overseas. It’s easy over here in south Texas. Shot a Nilgai two winters ago and received the Mount within 18 months.
I went to South Africa in 2022. The cost of the hunt was very reasonable. Tips were a little high but they treated me great. The cost of the taxidermy was the same as I could get it in the US so I didn’t mind that either. It was the shipping that shocked me. 4 heads shipped back was more than the cost of the taxidermy. I wasn’t prepared for that shocker. Obviously if you ship just the hides back it would be cheaper. My thought was I wouldn’t send a mule deer to Africa to get mounted. Not saying the taxidermists in the US aren’t good. I had my mounts back in a year.
thank you so much for sharing! definitely going to make this happen in the next few years. I've learned a lot from your channel, would love to go on a hunt with you and experience that! I shoot a Bowtech SS34
Very informative video thanks Mike
Could you describe the firearm process? Suggested caliber or do they provide the firearm and ammo? Like many in the comments a breakdown of the taxidermy and shipping costs would be awesome to know. Thank you for this great video
I’ve always wanted to hunt in Africa and has been top of my bucket list. Back in 2020 I was able to save up enough to take me and my dad to hunt in Africa (I was 16 at the time) but sadly it all got shut down with COVID. But seeing you breakdown everything it is very doable and hopefully one day I can get everything together and be able to go. Also mullet man is it possible if you can do another lodge tour and go full in depth with most of the mounts? It might be a bit repetitive as you already did one and that’s okay if it’s a no but will be amazing! Keep up the amazing work with the great content.
Absolutely interested and would love to be able to hunt with Mullet Man!
That’s is MUCH cheaper than I was expecting! I was expecting well over $10K!
Would love to understand the Airline Baggage process/price, shipping/bringing mounts back process/price, and how much you tip etc..?
I'm 1000% into doing a hunt with Mullet Man!!! I really didn't realize how affordable it was to hunt in Africa!
But that doesn’t include the tip which is expected and going to be hefty and most people go there and get what they shoot mounted too since you don’t get to keep the meat. Then you pay for shipping of your mounts back to the US. Grand total it’ll be well over 10k
Happy father's days to you guys 👍👍
What about the break down for mounts and shipping?
This is a lot of valuable information. Thank you so much. You actually answered most of my questions. What about someone new to hunting and ina wheelchair. Can they accommodate them? I understand if they can not.
I am sure that this could be arranged! Let me talk with drikus and I will get back with you. Thanks
We love having new hunters!
Nice Breakdown for the oversea Hunters, Yet we as South African Hunters feel that we have been sifted to the side because of the exchange rate... Yes this Farm is in Namibia, I have work out accordingly to our rates in South Africa Farms Rand to the Doller, only the animals in doller come to a total of $135k were in South African you could hunt the same package in South African rand as follows as an Southa African, Daily per Hunter Rates R500 , Impala R2 200 warthog R1000 Springbok R1500 Oryex between R5000 and R15000 depending on the area, I personally think and feel that the States/overseas Hunters are killing our local hunters and hunters children's to become hunters because of the exchange rate and that our local farmers don't see the damage that the are currently doing to our local Hunters trying to teach our children to hunt as there parents because of the amount of money involved and the exchange rate #huntingisfun
you should talk mount prices as i believe for many hunters thats also a very wanted piece of the whole hunt africa experience
Happy Father's Day and God bless.
Would like to hunt a different country to bow hunt and would like to get some bow hunting tips from you
On my bucket list for sure.
can you explain how the taxidermy and getting heads back to through customs work?
How are kudu populations doing in Namibia? I was at the western hunting expo and some of the outfits where saying that they got hit hard and some where saying their still getting big bulls.
We shot 4 bulls on this trip all over 48” saw tons of up and coming bulls!
Namibia is high on my bucketlist for sure, i thought it was much more expensive. 😮
Man I would love to go on hunt to Africa man that’s something that’s on my bucket list for sure how do you get started
Man i would love to hunt with you!
I’m in for next year !
Would be a dream to go hunt out there with you.
I’m interest MulletMan!!!!!
Thank you
How much does it cost for the taxidermy and to have it shipped to you.
Africa is my dream location to hunt I would love to go there some day
Are the mounts for the animals factored into that 6k price or does each mount more cost you? Thanks man love the content Africa is a bucket list trip for me
Mounts are definitely not included…there’s a few hoops to jump through with getting the mounts done and shipped out of the country
That's where the expense is, getting mounts done, then shipping back to states.
That’s not bad. I would love to hunt there.
My 40th is in 3 years... now I have a goal
What if you wanted a mount on what you get. Is that included in the price of the animal with shipping or is the mount and shipping extra?
Mounts and shipping is all separate.
@@MulletMan thats the real price that get you. you are 100% correct when it come to get there and back but the things you shoot is very pricey. can be 5k+ with trophy fee and taxidermy.
Damn that is very great price I would like to hunt with you
Don't underestimate the taxidermy costs that's the one you don't expect. The cost of dip and pack and shipping then the clearing agent. That gets expensive fast
Is it possible to extend an ongoing hunt?
Do you bring your own gun what’s the price of that getting it through customs
What about getting the skulls home? Is there stuff for the wife to do while I'm hunting?
Yes you can either get his local taxidermist to do your mounts and ship them back or you can have the hides salted and dried and shipped to your local taxidermist
That would be so awesome and if I didn’t have to be my moms caretaker I’d be in.
Any prices on having your mounts shipped back ?
Not sure how much it costs per animal. They normally pack everything into a small crate
so we can’t take any of the meat home? also what if we want to do a animal mount?
You can either get it mounted there or salted and dried and shipped home!
@@MulletMan do you know about how much for a head animal mount? a rough estimate?
Shipping and taxidermy. Double your cost of your safari but you can spread that cost out over a year or two or more if you have a good taxidermist that works with you.
It would be amazing to get to hunt with you.
If tou are from the US you have the xchange rate i your favour.
Currently it is abouve 19 nam dollar for 1 US dollar
I would go hunt with you. Can’t go 2024 but 2025 I’m down.
That’s way more affordable than I could’ve ever imagined!!
Cost to get skulls, horns, and capes home? Taxidermy ? I am guessing a ten day trip all in including tips, $15K ?
A 6,000 hunt trip. Double that and you will get true cost of shipping and taxidermy. So $12k or so from flight. And trip to having mounts on your wall.
You haven’t added the government taxes , the salt and get it ready to ship then they hit you with transportation of the hides to be shipped then the actual shipping. I hunted Africa in 2013. A lot of fees you don’t see coming
Flight 1000,- Daily rate 200-500, plus Animal price!
What about hunting license and do use his guns
He provides hunting license. You can rent his guns per day or bring your own!
The price of your license and tags is included into the total cost!
Don’t forget about the taxidermy
Can you get trophies?
Family trip for 6k however you priced this for 1 person lol also never mentioned shipping and taxidermy 👀
Crocs and socks in Africa 😂
Always!!
You can own a 5 star luxury Boutique Safari Lodge in Big 5 territory for $2m. Absolutely beautiful. Talk to me.
What about taxidermy
When I went to Africa back in '18, it cost me $6.5k to have 5 animals taxidermized and shipped back home. my flight was about $2400, hunt package was $5200. so all together it was just over $14k with tips to guides and staff. Nobody likes to talk about full cost, they only talk about the hunt package, which is actually cheap compared to paying for hunts in the US. I will say, even though it is expensive, it is definitely a once in a lifetime experience if you can afford it.
Can u keep and if so how much does it cost to get something like the animal hides or mounts of an animal that u shoot?
biggest thing have some extra cash its africa u can bump into anything, dont want to miss out on that once in a life time trophy because your budget didnt allow for it :)
If you thought it was expensive as an American or European then you should realise how it's impossible for a South African to hunt in South Africa. With the hunting farms catering for the overseas market and our rand's value against the dollar or euro at around R20 to 1.
Flying from Hawaii is suuuuper expensive 😅
Do you need to have a gun license to hunt
Dang 6 grand? Sign me up
How much would it cost to just go to see the animals, no hunting. I can not see good enough to use a firearm safely.
Love to go hunt me some hunters only if they hunt the big 5. Is 2024 gentleman only ignorance at this point we haven't learned in the last 200 years what we done to africa.
That’s not how we ever vacationed. $6k
I’ll probably never meet you, let alone HUNT with the Mullet Man 🤦♂️
Can you keep the head and the hide of the animals you shoot ?
My only issue is you're literally plucking these animals off Straight from the water trough and salt blocks...
You can stalk them 👍
You do the same with deer
@@SuperDave44Mag a water source in the Dessert?... 25yrds away?.. its not deer.. dude plucked a wharthog and a fox....lmao... Sweet my first wharthog was kneeling drinking from a trough.. GTFOH
@@MulletMan hah,, but you didnt
@@SuperDave44Mag 27 species... a deer?...lmao
You are hunting on a high fence game ranch. That's not a safari. That's not even real hunting. Go to the bush & it's a different story & a far better experience
HOLY i mean like you said it IS a lot for SOME people, but for people who are AVID hunters, I MEAN SHIT ive heard of salmon fishing trips for a week that were 2-3 thousand more per week than this... and the fact that is is pretty much an "all inclusive hotel stay" by that i mean all meals, drinks and everything else included in the daily cost, THAT IS WAYYYY cheaper then I thought it would be tbh, I would have thought a MINIMUM of 10k like minnnnnimum this is VERY interesting, looks like a shit load of fun, the guys who run the place seem top notch dudes, defs adding this onto my bucket list!
