When I was in Cameroon I had a chance to go after lion. It would have been an add on trophy fee/permit of about $5K back then. I could not bring it back into the states and for that reason I passed on it. If I had it to do over again I'd probably go for it. But I was a lot younger then and costs were nowhere near what they are now for that sort of thing. Hind sight don't ya know.
