Knowing where you've been and what you were doing there, that is saying something.

For me I want to go so bad I can't stand it. I think calling predators over there would be the ultimate adrenaline rush. I'd like to shoot one of every plains game there too. I don't know how I would even decide which ones to shoot if I had a budget.

Not as good as you might think....I've done it many times.

DD: Not everything in Africa is high fenced.. Several of my friend's conservancies in Namibia are bigger than all of South Texas. When you have 500,000 to one million acres in an area to hunt, and you're the only one in there except for native populations, it is something else entirely!!!

I think Hunting......some of the most spectacular animals on this planet.

I have to agree, not a place I ever care to hunt or visit.

Here's a hunting tip from over there that can be used just about anywhere:

Used to feel the same way before I actually went and experienced it for the first time. The quality, and sheer numbers of animals has to be seen to be believed, and the people I've had the privilege to hunt with have been world class. I consider myself fortunate to have been part of it 4 times now.

I'm sure it's great people and folks having a good hunt but I'd rather spend my money here in the US hunting Elk and Mule Deer. Just my preference.

I've been hooked on big mule deer bucks for the past 45 years now, and have chased them every year, so I'd rather hunt mule deer too. However, I can go hunt 10 cull/management plains game animals, throw in a trophy kudu bull, all free range in Namibia, for the cost of an elk hunt. That'll get your attention.

For some folks I guess but not me. Just no interest in hunting or killing African game. Congrats to those that do.

My heart is there. I have been there 6 times. I have hunted 5 countries. I love the people the experience and the beauty. you are missing out if you choose not to go. I hope to retire there some day. I have shot most all of the game there already just love the people.

Ju Ju Bwana, Ju Ju.

Ebola and Aids.

That reminds me, I need to top up my prescription!

Mostly I wonder whether my taxidermy bill is due yet.

I feel you pain

I hear you Blank! Sounds like you've lived a good life. Majestic Kudu resonates with me as well. Hope I live long enough to get a trip or two more to the Dark Continent.

Blank, agreed. I was thinking of the Limpopo area where I recently hunted. I wanted a trophy Kudu really bad. That's a boyhood dream that has lasted all my LONG life. Only juveniles were seen. Not sure where the next trip will take me.

Rich dudes

I guess this is the danger in hunting the "Big 5" that becomes addictive.

As a whole, not wildy remote any more. On decline.

All the multiple safari guys I've had pleasure of speaking with speak in terms of not the adventure it once was.

But can, and likely, will be "wilder" than anything you've ever done in the USA.

Unfortunately, the ones complaining about wanting the "wild" experience are the ones flying in with a 206 (beats driving 12-16 hours), bringing all their luxuries and desires with them, staying in a chalet with en suite amenities, asking of Internet access and being able to do business from camp. I loved tent camping in the Zambezi Valley, and out in the Namibian desert, and my next trip will be to my friends Caprivi camp.
