Elyas and I had hunted a lot together over the past year, all Sambar hunting and it had been great. However there was a surprise brewing. I had met Owen of Great Southern Hunts over the internet and had kept in contact with him for over two years. Finally I had got permission from the understanding wife for El and I to go for a visit, and see the great southern fallow herd. Driving up was no problem, El is great in the car, mostly sleeping or watching out the window.

Among the considerations hunters make during the various seasons they choose to hunt is whether or not they pay for a hunting lease. If a hunting lease is undertaken, valuing the lease appropriately is an important part of the hunting lease process. Whether the hunting lease is for a one-week elk hunt, or a season of goose hunting, several tangible and intangible factors should be considered when valuing a hunting lease.
