Actually, I am still waiting for you to enlighten me on how to self-outfit my next African DG hunt. I mean, after all you imply anyone that uses an outfitter is somehow helpless or uninformed. And I think I am typing this on an Africa forum. So please do tell me what I am doing wrong. I assume it must be a subject about which you have great expertise. God knows you have posted enough. So please let us know. I have spent most of my professional career in a lot of the darker corners of the world, and the last several hunting a bit of it. I know a little bit about getting around out there, but I missed the course on self-outfitting in the Zim, the Caprivi, or Botswana.
Exactly, and being this is the AFRICAN forum, it begs the question; enlighten us on how you've managed to hunt African without the services of a PH/outiftter. As to hunting in the lower 48, some of us are less fortunate in that we are "geographically challenged", i.e, living in Florida for example. Regardless and some of us are fortunate enough to have developed other skills that afford us the luxury of hiring an outfitter to do all the preliminaries, thus giving us the time to be able to enjoy a hunt in places where we do not have the time to do it all ourselves. Lastly, I don't lose sleep overnight over comments by someone who is fortunate enough to live in a place where hunting opportunities are pleantiful or that thinks anything short of being Daniel [bleep] Boone is tantamount to a lack of skill. I've hunted DIY plenty of times, but at this point in my life I have the means to hire someone who can put me in the right place so I can have an enjoyable hunt. Not a question of skills, it's a question means and priorities in life. consider yourself enlightened. jorge
