Default African safari hunt. Yay or nay?

All this talk about African game....

Are you interested in hunting there or not?

Me? No, not interested.

Yes, I am.

Plains game only.

I really have no desire. Maybe some day that will change. As of right now, there are plenty of game animals in North America I'd rather kill.

I personally have too many desires to hunt NA game and would like to focus my time in the U.S. Not that I think it's not a fantastic hunt, I personally want to focus my resources here for the game I most desire.

Nope.

Not ruling it out forever, and I know some guys have had some awesome experiences there... but just no interest right now.

I've still got a lot of room on my walls for whitetails left... I think you and I are cut from the same fabric on a lot of things, Scott.

I do, but I would rather knock out NA big game instead like Kyle said....I do plan on making the trip atleast once before I croak though, sure would be a trip of a lifetime

My number one all time goal at this point is the NA Deer Slam (I actually plan to complete this within 6-7 years), hopefully I'll be 2/5 the way there this coming fall.
