This may not apply to those studs like Greenhorn and Buzz, but what makes more sense or which would you prefer - an African hunt for $7 or 8 thousand or a guided,outfitted horseback hunt for deer and/or elk in the Rockies at about the same price? Or an African hunt or an Alaskan trip for moose/black bear at about the same price?
I'm curious, as I often hear objections on cost for an African trip, but the same guys might pay the same amount for a top-notch trip in North America.
I understand that they are completely different hunts, but I have to say that I loved Africa. For the money spent versus game taken, Africa would win, in my opinion.
I also understand that many of you are young, in excellent shape and live in prime hunting areas. You've got it made and don't need no stinking guide. This post is more for the rest of us who do not live in prime elk/moose/deer country.
