RE: So you'll pay $2 Grand+.........
For me, the same reason you invite as many folks as you do to your home, Jeff.
I doubt I would drop two G's for a guided whitetail hunt, but I'm planning on dropping about a grand or a little over this next fall to go hunt bears in MN with Kyle. I've got bears here I could hunt for much less, but I'd rather spend the money and get a chance to meet/hunt with someone I've developed a friendship with over the boards. Hell, I don't care much if I actually stick a bear or not, it'll be a blast either way.
Then again, I'm one of the folks who wants to hunt the Dark Continent anyway. [8D]

BTW, Andy....
This thread has NO bearing on me wanting to come to MD and hunt.....lol. I'm still game if we can work it out. It's more than killing a whitetail as to why I'd love to comem though. First off....my season here would be over. Second....the time I spent with you and your MD bretheren was really cool. That's a big part of it.

You only get one stint on this rock. Some people try and make the most of it by hunting many different critters. Some guys make the most of it by hunting one critter over and over again. Whatever you find enjoyable, go for it. I do think that some guys sell themselves a little short on doing/trying things that they may come to find very enjoyable. The older I get, the more I experience, the more i want to go places and hunt different animals.

Rybo...
I had a conversation with my wife the other night about this (kinda). I told her there were SO MANY things I wish I could"learn"...."see"...."hear"...."experience"... .that I would die never having done so. That bothers me.
I see things differently at 44 than I did at even 34. I want to do some things before I kick the bucket.

I'll repost for a response ....
How so, Jeff? Why is that inflammatory ..... and what does me being a Preacher have anything to do with it??
well try just coming out and sayingwhat you meaninstead ofdoing your end-arounds
Your post made it sound like all those that chose to hunt whitetails was close-minded

I'm talking about guys who would close their minds and seemingly put down another's choice to hunt abroad. If you're Ok hunting what you like.....I applaud that. I don't have to agree or understand it. If you're gonna hint at putting down the other guy's choice.....that's being close-minded (at BEST).

RE: So you'll pay $2 Grand+.........
Who really cares to be honest?? I want to hunt some animals, but I don't have a drive to do it, if I never get to then oh well...whitetails are fine for me....but if a guy wants to hunt other animals then have at it... I would like to hunt russian boar or wild hogs, don't know that I ever will though...but if I don't then it's ok...life will not be unfilled if I don't... Jeff, if you want to go to Zimbabwe to shoot a Giraffe then go, and if TreedNc wants to stay home and shoot whitetails, good ..if Preach wants to try and look like Germ in then let him.....
