Upon reflection--
My opinion indeed may be biased by my hunting buddies and I may indeed be quite mistaken in saying COST is not the major factor preventing DG hunts. If your means are so limited(as so many hunters experience) that Africa is not even an option then obviously the whole DG thing and my statement regarding that is totally irrevelant.And obviously more hordes of hunters would go to Africa if the price was conducive.

Among fellow hunters in my middle age bracket not moaning about the cost of hunting( who have hunted Canada,Alaska,CONUS et al) I note three groups. Some prefer just whitetail,some bigger game but no American DG like big bears and then others really want the Bear/Boar experience.

How many want the DG experience and how many don't?
Has todays PC civilized society emasculated its hunters?
It would be interesting to know!! More hunters hunting DG would go a long way toward preserving DG as a wildlife resource in the future.
