bwana,
having trouble following alot of your post but seems you've experienced a less than satisfactory wyoming hunt.
nonresidents wanting to hunt elk here should apply for a general license, not a special.
five grand for an african hunt that comes anywhere close to a horseback hunt in the high rockies? doubt it. not sure there's an african hunt anywhere for any price, that rivals a high mountain horseback hunt!
30+ for a hunt with two family members? you must stay at a different teepee than i do!
wolves? i have my opinions on them, but can tell you in my area the big game mortality due to motor vehicle encounters and human encroachment on winter range, mostly trophy homes, concernes me far more than wolves! at least they eat them!
