I don't want to read the thread again, but I don't think I said anything negative about someone else hunting Africa. It's certainly my right to say I know i'd never like it without being there.

When someone rags on me for not knowing about a place I have no interest in going to........well, I respond.

Granted some of my opinion is based on the hundreds of hunts in Africa i've watched on TV and online. I don't think i've ever said to myself that i'd like to be there to try that.

Maybe my world is small as far as hunting goes. I was born and brought up in New England. Me and my dad hunted all over it for a lot of years. Then we moved to Calif, and I hunted it. However, from the age of 12 we always came to Colorado to hunt for elk and muley's. Every year for a month we came here to hunt.

We did that until my dad passed away when I was 40. From then on I came here alone to hunt. I finally got tired of the drive, and moved here. Now at 72 my hunting career is winding down. I have no regrets. I loved hunting Colorado, and now I love living here. Actually, I do have one regret, but it was out of my hands as a youngster. I wish my parents had moved here instead of Calif. Well, at least i've lived here a good part of my life.

Anyway, peace bro. We're all hunters no matter where we do it.
