Guys, I was joking....I've got more [bleep] than I'll ever need. I'm as much of a hunting clothing whore than I am a rifle and hunting junkie. I'm just looking for an excuse to get some more nice gear.
In that case, I'd look for excuses to spend that money on more trips. Go to KS and other places as well. You'll remember/enjoy it much longer than any gear purchase IME...
I completely and totally agree with that statement. I likely will do that. Its looking like summer 2017 will be S Africa......although something in the back of my mind says enjoy trips in the US....elk, antelope, mule deer, etc....
Sounds like a plan. I plan on doing as much here in the US for the time being as possible for a couple of reasons. Largely, time and money, but I also see old, out of shape guys on safaris in Africa. You don't see to many of them on DIY, public land hunts for elk, etc. Right now I'm just young(ish) and out of shape!
I guess I'm youngish (42) and I don't want to regret never going to SA. I have a customer and great friend(s) that are going in 2017. Thier PH comes over every year to visit and hunt deer and elk. We've talked about it and I've verbally committed.
I understand. Different strokes is all. I plan on making it to Africa hunting someday and am just banking on there will be African hunting available when I'm old. It's an easy choice as right now my kids suck up any and all extra money and time...
