Colorado Bob,

If you don't mind me asking, what was the true total price for your hunt? You mentioned 5 animals for $3,000 and $1000 more for you and your wife on a photo safari, but what other costs were incurred? Flights, lodging, fee's, shipping, tips, food, taxidermy, other(?) ... I've been on a few hunts in the US and know the cost can add up, but I'd love to hear from someone who has shelled it out what the total really is.

It also would be nice to know what I have to sock away to make it happen some day!
