“Approaching Masai” by John Banovich – In this 32” X 24” Giclee, a majestic leopard stares into the distance, trying to spot the origination of the noises that has just woken him from an afternoon slumber. The artist describes it in the following way: “No one likes having their afternoon cat naps interrupted...this male leopard has been disturbed by something in the distance. Masai and their cattle are fast approaching a common story in a continent of over one billion people. There are fewer and fewer places for wild animals to find refuge. The human animal conflict has escalated to unprecedented levels and the animal always loses in the end. I painted this cat in a pose as if he is being watched from below. It is an unusual position to paint but I wanted to capture a moment as if the viewer were invisible to his intense, distant stare.” - John Banovich

If you buy a hunt at our auction that the donor fails to provide for you, through no fault of your own, we will make arrangements for a replacement hunt or we will issue you a credit. If you simply find it inconvenient to go on the dates available, or change your mind for some reason, then it is to be negotiated between you and the outfitter.

Should the purchaser choose to proceed, absent providing proper notification, it is presumed that the purchaser is completely satisfied.
Upgrading your hunt, while not required, is certainly appreciated by our donors. If you do not want to add another animal, consider bringing along a friend. This really helps out these outfitters and hunting companies that are trying to help us! With few exceptions, these donors are not wealthy individuals, but rather they donate to help wildlife, ensure the future of our sport, and generate new business for themselves. Please do what you can to help out.
