Most of the cheaper African hunts being talked about here are on game farms, no? And to compare a game farm hunt to a vermejo ranch elk hunt is a bit like comparing apples oranges.
Compare the Vermejo rates to a moderate safari cost. I could do two hunts in Africa for the cost of a Vermejo hunt.
As to Scott's question, more means a vast variety of animals, all different in character. Some like this; others are happy with one. I worked just as hard for my kudu as I have for any of my elk, except for the climbing. A bushbuck will give a hunter fits and is no pushover. And, things don't end at the first BANG in Africa.
I DO love to eat elk, however!
