I still can't fathom the exotics: bison, bighorns, moose, etc.... Its not so much the 10-15 year wait, its paying $2,500 once you've done that much waiting. Now you're like $4,000 invested when you could have taken $6,000 to africa to kill 7 animals. :dunno:

:yeah: Seriously. I don't know what it is but hunting Africa does not appeal to me at all. I think its the pictures I see of overweight dudes in shorts with an entourage of people helping them hunt. It makes it seem like you pay the money and get to go on a killing trip and not a hunting trip. I'll take a bighorn a a bison hunt anyday.

Post by: C-Money on March 04, 2013, 07:00:41 AM: Africa is not my cup of tea either. About the only country I would ever wanna hunt other than at home is Canada. A sheep and a moose is at the top of my tags wanted list.
