smokepole,I'm one western hunter who's hunted not just whitetails but turkeys on public land in the East....
Me too. Don't leave out the Midwest though.
I also find it baffling how many people who obviously love wild country and wild animals don't feel the slightest pull toward Africa....
Like I said, it's all in what you want to get out of it. And where your priorities are.
I'd like to see Africa, and I also wouldn't mind hunting on private land like Vermejo Park. Or doing a brown bear hunt in coastal Alaska. I'm just not going to plunk down $15K for the privilege.
It's not that I can't afford it, just that none are that high on my list. I'd rather hunt elk or pronghorns close to home, and do it on my own.
I find it baffling that you find find it baffling that other people have different priorities. There are almost as many different reasons to hunt as there are hunters.
