RE: So you'll pay $2 Grand+.........
 

When it starts getting old and or I start to lose that fire in my belly to do it. I am not knocking what you do. I think all the kills that you have is quite an accomplishment. HOWEVER I am on the other end of that spectrum. Shooting a striped horse doesn't float my boat. I would love to go on an elk hunt but at this point I would have to forego a whitetail hunt to do it and at this point in my hunting journey; big whitetails is what is what I love to hunt. Big whitetails are what have filled my dreams since I was a child. I don't have the desire to go hunt anything but big whitetails. When/if that gets old, I will look for something else to get me as exited as whitetails do now.

To play devil's advocate....why would someone pay $6k+ to hunt Africa when they could do 3-4 guided whitetail hunts (or 10+ DIY)in different regions of NA for the same price as one african safari?

That said, I agree for the most part. I think Africa would be cool, as would hunting a 300 lb Canadian Whitetail. It's all about the hunting for me, I love seeing new places and chasing new things. Growing up in KY, Turkey and Whitetail are my bread and butter that i WILL hunt every year from here on out, but I love switching it up just as much....my taste of pronghorn hunting and out of state turkey hunting has me hooked. traveling on hunts is a blast.


Droptine, if looking to complete all species in NA...you HAVE to go to Canada. A few caribou species are found only in Canada.

I don't care which one they do......just don't make light of the other guy's choice or discount his accomplishments.

"Striped Horse" is a good example.;)

Anyone that thinks they dont want to move to another area is missing out. IMO

I'm in it for the experience..I've been all over the world hunting. I do it for the experience..it's like a trip to Florida with my wife and little girls...its the memory/vacation/ experience.

I hunt the world (not for just the kill) but for the moment and memories of something I have a passion for.

I told my wife the other night..."I said, Honey, I think I'd like to start going on white-tail hunts in various states. "she said, sounds cool.

I think it would be neat to have mounts on my wall from various states for white-tails.

To each his own I guess..

Now I just need to plan and find the $$$$ to continue on across the U.S[&:]

I thought you'd appreciate that;)BUT that's what it is to ME!! I am not knocking you or anyone else that has the desire to go shoot one. I'm just explaining why I have no desire to do it and pointing out that their isa flip side to the coin. You guys may get "bored to tears" or get tired of the "same game, same court, same opponent". But I don't. To me it's a whole new ballgame and a whole new opponenet everytime I step on the court. Don't expect to see someone "knock" what I do in explaining what they do and think that I don't have the same heart felt convictions about what I do versuses what they do. If at some point, hunting a striped horse begins to sound fun or challenging to me than I will go do it. Right now it doesn't, so I don't;)
