Yes I would like to hunt over there. It's not highest or the most likely thingon my list butAfricahasa lot of cool critters I wouldn't mind getting after. Probably the single most thing I'd liketo try once is for Cape Buffalo, althoughI would be carrying a very large gun, not a bow.

Africa would be great! My only problem w/ spending money on an African hunt is that you can't take any meat back home.

Bowhunt, absolutely.

I have no desire to hunt big game anywhere with a rifle as long asI can draw a legal bow.

Could go in 07 with my brother on his 5th trip if I could come up with some cash and time. He and some of his friends have taken many game, small and the largestwith bow and gun. According to him your treated like a king.

Jim Zumbo in Outdoor Life just wrote a piece on hunting Africa to help feed the poor there, they have many near starving people. That would be my kind of hunt.

no desire to hunt animals that i don't eat (just the way i was raised). would still be nice to see the animals in the wild. i just can't justify the cost to myself either. i could hunt a lot of whitetails for that kind of cash.

I would like to hunt with both a rifle and a bow. With elephant even Chuck Adams admits is just too big and tough for the best modern day archery equipment.

No desire to hunt anything in Africa. I'd rather hunt whitetails, elk, and bear in the USA and Canada. And for me it's BOW ONLY. I've done the rifle thing and it just leaves me with an empty feeling. No sense of accomplishment with the gun for me.

You don't give enough choices. It's either bow hunt in Africa or rifle hunt???? What's up with tha? Higher on my list than either of those is an elk hunt in the good old USA. Now you're talking.
