Teachers teach. But, before they can effectively teach, they must learn. The more I travel, the more I learn. The most I've learned is that I know very little about the world. I guess that's the main reason why I continue to travel. I seek to know more. Undoubtly, that knowledge is gained by first hand experience rather than hear se. I use hunting as my avenue to gain more knowledge and to test what I have learned. I guess I'm crazy too...yeah, I guess I'm rich and bored. Hardly!

Africa is a place you must experience. Once you do so, your whole preconceived notion of the place will disipate. It is such a complex spot on the planet. There are so many facets. Again, a trip there will leave your mind and eyes wide open. I'd say "save and plan". Take the entire Summmer. Go explore! Come back with first hand experience. Pass that experience on (reminds me of the preist teaching sex ed)...

As far as sneaking up on giraffes? Hmmm... if you had that vantage point, do you think something could sneak up on you? I would say "surprising" a giraffe is more like it. Do you ever wonder why they do not show the "hard" hunts on TV?

Seriously, the world is not flat!


Well said.

Good luck in Africa Robin, make sure you post some pics of your trip.

Thanks. We will know if we are going within the next couple weeks. If this one doesn't pan out, I'll go someday for sure. This one is kinda last minute with some hurdles to overcome for us to be able to make it work.

Why can't I have the opinion that it's silly? Also, someone tell me what makes a giraffe a trophy, and Im asking with now sarcasim, pure ignorance here.

Not only do I think you "can" I think you "should" have your own opinion. I am just curious to what makes it "sillly" in your eyes?

Its just a shame we don't havegiraffe's in PA,if we did the PGC would blame them for eating all of the trees and we could have a six month season on them instead of the doe.[:@]

Just think bonus giraffe tags wwwwwwwwwwwwhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhoooooooooooooooo

And last but not least remember always practice QGM who would want to shoot a short giraffe? "let them go so they can grow up.";)

I think it's silly because I do not see it as a game animal, and I did not know that it was.

Va, this has been, and continues to be, both an educational and rather amusing thread, but is all of the maintenance worth it?:D:D:D:D:D
