[quote=EdM]I more than struggle gauging the quality or value of a hunt on the number of animals taken. Nothing tough about killing plains game in Africa. Elk, on the other hand, will be more than a smidge more physical and challenging to the point you may come home elkless. Hunting... [/quote
As to elk hunting, I've only been 3 times, but I have several local buddies who frequent places like Chama Land and Cattle, the Mescalero Res, and another lodge hunt I can't remember the name of offhand. They aren't what I would consider overly strenuous, as they usually have a nice 6x6 within a couple of days...for around $15k I might add. My latest 12 animal hunt in Namibia was less money, and I couldn't fathom having more fun spending money, unless I could afford a mule deer hunt on the Jicarilla, but that ain't gonna happen. Namibia is off the charts fun.
