Indy, sounds like you had quite a time in Zim!
My pockets aren't that deep but I can't disagree with Mike. Don't want to cheat myself with a cut-rate hunt either. As for ruining deer hunting, maybe but I sincerely doubt it. I'll be 50 in a few months and still get excited about opening day. Heck, I still like squirrel hunting.
Thanks again for all the input.
Keep it coming.
Theres a lot of good advice on this thread and I cant improve upon it, only reiterate some points.
Book with a reputable outfitter like Atchesons..though there are many more.
GET a meet and greet service if you are going through Jo-berg
Make your travel arrangements with someone in the business like Steve with Travel with Guns....it costs no more and is invaluable.
Lastly a point I will make : This will not lessen your drive for deer, or squirrels, or whatever.....but a proper buffalo hunt will change your perspective....scoring a 160 class whitetail, or 340 class elk no longer seems very important....still fun but as Ruark said, once you have hunted buffalo you are dissatisfied with anything else.
GO. Enjoy it. Soak in every moment. You will never be sorry.
