Gents,

This is kind of interesting because it shows what safari means to different people and what their different expectations may be for their own adventures. To me it is becoming clear that I'm kind of a collector at least within my budgetary restraints and if in most cases I can't kill a bigger trophy of a particular species than I have shot before I'm not interested in taking it. This is witnessed by my '03 safari in Tanzania where I shot no buffalo when I had 3 on license and multiple chances to shoot them. Took some crap for that one on AR. On the other hand I think I could be pretty happy if I could organize a trophy elephant or leopard hunt every year. With these 2 species as long as it was a mature male I would not care so much about the trophy quality. The experience itself would be reward enough.
