And I said I think they are great. However, I had to make a decision as to who to hunt with when I had 4 outfits I liked.

One eliminated himself when he was all hang dog about his divorce and they were fighting over the operation. I sympathize with him, but I don't want to be in camp with a moody guy and/or have a dispute break out over who gets what in the settlement.

Moolman eliminated himself when he kept saying he had the best packages (kind of like a used car salesman. Sometimes less promotion is more IMO) and then said I had to take a warthog (because it is Africa). I don't care about warthogs this time around. He kept saying if it was a great warthog I should take it. I was noncommittal so he said if he said it was a big one and I wouldn't shoot it, he would grab my rifle and shoot it for himself. NO ONE grabs my rifle and kills something on MY hunt without ME saying it's OK.

Nothing major, like I said I had to sort out who I went with and sometimes it was rather trivial, but you have to sort somehow.

Between the final two, it was who I related with best. I went with the guy that I hit off with the best right off the bat. It was like we were long lost brothers or best friends. We can talk for hours. It really is amazing actually. I lucked out.

Really looking to the actual trip next month.

Sun Africa Safari appears to be a good operation. They just placed #3 on my list.
