Anyway, What's a reasonable budget to plan for the entire trip - guide, licenses, trophy fees, lodging, taxidermy plus shipping to my door, for a similar plains game hunt?

The annual SCI convention is coming up after the holidays in Las Vegas - Many hunts are booked there. If you cannot make that, look at the program and get the names of outfitters so you can contact them for all your info
