I think MD pretty much covered nailed it as you have Fost. I have a good friend who lives in Montana near Thompson Falls and is strictly a recurve bow hunter. He has some spectacular trophies and he admits he hunts hard for them, but even he admits living in Montana makes things a lot easier. My wife and I are going up there in October to scout out a possible retirement place. Anyhow, location is a huge component. Just ask anyone who lives in Africa and hunts. They were taking from lions to buffalo before their teens. Bottom line is in MY opinion when it comes to variety, Africa has no equal, and some of us hunt there because WE CAN.

A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”
